Case-bearing clothes moth (larva)

Dark, undisturbed indoor locations like closets, baseboards, and under carpets.

Keratin-containing animal fibers such as wool, fur, silk, feathers, and felt.

Larvae construct a portable silken case incorporating bits of their food source for camouflage. They live inside this case, dragging it with them as they feed, and eventually pupate within it.

Significant household pest that causes damage to clothing, upholstery, and carpets. They do not pose health risks to humans but can be economically damaging to textiles.
