Case-bearing Clothes Moth

Indoor environments, closets, upholstery, and areas where natural fibers are stored.

Larvae feed on keratin-rich animal fibers such as wool, silk, fur, feathers, and hair.

The larva builds a portable silken case incorporating debris and fibers, which it carries for protection while feeding. Adults do not eat and are typically nocturnal.

Significant pest to textiles and stored natural goods. They carry no health risks to humans but can cause expensive damage to clothing and carpets.
