Household Casebearer

Found inside houses, particularly in areas with high humidity, on walls, and under furniture.

Larvae feed on spider webs, wool, silk, hair, and other organic debris in the home.

The larva constructs a protective silk case flattened like a pumpkin seed, incorporating dust and sand for camouflage. It remains inside the case, extending its head to move and feed.

Harmless to humans but can be a minor pest by damaging delicate natural fabrics or creating unsightly cases on walls.
