Household Casebearer

Typically found inside houses, on walls, or under furniture in warm, humid climates.

Larvae feed on spider webs, wool, silk, hair, and other natural fibers or organic debris.

The larva constructs a protective silken case covered in sand or debris and carries it while moving. It can extend its head from either end to feed or move. After feeding, it attaches to a surface to pupate.

They are considered a minor household pest as they can damage natural fiber clothing or carpets. They do not pose a direct health risk to humans or pets.
