Casemaking Clothes Moth (Larva)

Dark, undisturbed areas within homes such as closets, under heavy furniture, or inside storage trunks.

Larvae feed on animal-based fibers including wool, silk, fur, feathers, and hair.

The larva constructs a portable silken case incorporating debris and fibers from its food source. It carries this case as it moves and feeds, eventually pupating within it.

They are domestic pests that can cause significant damage to clothing, upholstery, and carpets. They pose no direct health risk to humans but can be a major economic nuisance.
