Household Casebearer

Typically found inside houses, particularly on walls in humid environments, bathrooms, and garages.

Larvae feed on spider webs, woolen fabrics, hair, and organic detritus found in dust.

The larva constructs a protective silk case covered in sand, soil, and floor debris. It can turn around inside the case to protrude from either end to feed or move.

Generally harmless to humans but considered a minor pest as they can damage silk or wool textiles and create unsightly cases on indoor walls.
