Webbing clothes moth (larva)

Dark, undisturbed areas in homes such as closets, chests, or under furniture where natural fibers are stored.

Keratin-containing natural fibers including wool, silk, fur, feathers, and hair; they also consume lint or synthetic fabrics stained with organic matter.

Larvae spin silken tubes or mats as they feed, remaining hidden. They avoid light and undergo a complete metamorphosis from egg to adult moth.

They are a significant domestic pest that can cause extensive damage to clothing, carpets, and upholstery; they pose no direct health risk to humans but can be costly to control.
