Case-bearing Clothes Moth (Larva)

Indoor environments, particularly in closets, drawers, or rooms containing natural fibers like wool, silk, or fur.

Keratin-based materials including wool, feathers, hair, fur, leather, and occasional plant-based fabrics or dried food.

Larvae construct a portable silken case incorporating debris and fibers. They remain inside this protective sleeve as they feed and move. They are often found climbing walls or tucked in crevices where they pupate.

Significant household pest that causes physical damage to clothing, upholstery, and carpets. They pose no physical health risks to humans but can be economically damaging; they help decompose animal remains in natural settings.
