Case-bearing clothes moth (larva)

Indoor environments, particularly in closets, drawers, or storage areas where natural fibers are kept

Larvae feed on keratin-containing animal fibers such as wool, silk, feathers, fur, and hair, as well as synthetic fibers blended with natural ones

The larva builds a portable silken case incorporating debris and fibers, which it carries while feeding; it stays inside this case until it pupates

No health risk to humans or pets, but they are significant pests that cause permanent damage to clothing, upholstery, and carpets
