Case-bearing Clothes Moth (Larva)

Indoor environments, specifically closets, wardrobes, and upholstery where natural fibers are stored.

Keratin-rich materials including wool, silk, feathers, fur, and hair. They do not eat synthetic fabrics.

Larvae construct and live inside a portable silken case incorporating fibers from their food source. They are lucifugous, meaning they avoid light and prefer dark, undisturbed areas.

They are a household pest that can cause significant damage to clothing and textiles. They pose no physical health risk to humans but are economically destructive.
