Case-bearing Clothes Moth (Larva)

Indoor environments, particularly in closets, drawers, and carpets where natural fibers and dust accumulate

Keratin-rich materials including wool, silk, fur, feathers, and hair

Larvae construct a portable silken case incorporating fibers from their food source and drag it with them as they feed; they complete their life cycle entirely indoors

No health risk to humans or pets, but causes significant economic and aesthetic damage to clothing, upholstery, and heirloom textiles
