Case-bearing Clothes Moth (Larva)

Indoor environments, particularly in dark, undisturbed areas such as closets, under furniture, or rugs.

Larvae feed on animal fibers including wool, silk, fur, feathers, and hair. They are one of the few organisms that can digest keratin.

The larva constructs a portable silken case incorporating fibers from its food source. It carries this case while feeding and eventually pupates inside it.

Poses a significant risk to household property by damaging expensive clothing, carpets, and upholstery. They offer no direct benefit to humans and are considered a common domestic pest.
