Household Casebearer

Found inside homes, particularly in damp areas or on walls and floors with accumulating hair and dust

Larvae feed on spider webs, wool, shed human hair, dead insects, and natural fibers like silk

The larva constructs a protective spindle-shaped case from silk and environmental debris like sand or dust. It can turn around inside the case to protrude from either end to move or feed.

Considered a minor household pest as they can damage silk or wool garments and rugs; they pose no physical threat to humans.
