Household Casebearer

Found indoors on walls, ceilings, and under furniture in warm, humid climates.

Feeds on spider webs, dust, hair, shed skin, and occasionally wool or cotton fabrics.

Larvae construct and constantly carry a silken, flattened portable case adorned with debris, retreating inside when disturbed.

Larvae can damage stored natural fibers and textiles, but they are generally harmless household nuisances rather than major pests.
