Case-bearing clothes moth (larva)

Indoor environments, particularly in dark, undisturbed areas like closets, under furniture, and in carpets.

Larvae feed on keratin-containing animal products, including wool, fur, feathers, hair, and silk.

The larva builds a silk case encrusted with fibers from its environment and carries it as it moves. They are nocturnal and avoid light.

No health risks to humans, but can cause significant damage to clothing, upholstery, and textile collections.
