Case-bearing clothes moth (larva)

Indoor environments such as closets, wardrobes, and upholstery

Keratin-rich animal fibers including wool, silk, feathers, and fur

The larva constructs a portable silken case camouflaged with fragments of the material it is feeding on, which it carries for protection as it feeds and moves.

No direct health risk to humans, but can cause significant economic damage by creating holes in clothing, rugs, and textile heirlooms.
