Case-making clothes moth (larva)

Indoor environments, particularly in closets, drawers, or storage areas where natural fibers are kept

Larvae feed on items of animal origin, including wool, silk, feathers, fur, and leather

Larvae spin a portable silken case incorporating fibers from the material they are eating; they drag this case with them as they move and eventually pupate inside it

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