Case-bearing clothes moth (larva)

Indoor environments, specifically within closets, drawers, and carpets where natural fibers are present.

Keratin-rich animal fibers including wool, silk, fur, feathers, and lint; they do not eat synthetic fabrics.

The larva constructs a protective silken case covered with debris and fiber. It drags this 'sleeping bag' with it as it feeds. Before pupation, they often crawl up walls or to protected crevices.

Possess no health risk to humans or pets but are significant household pests that cause permanent damage to clothing, upholstery, and heirloom textiles.
