Casemaking Clothes Moth larva (likely)

Indoor environments, particularly in dark areas like closets, pantries, and under furniture where natural fibers are present.

Keratin-rich materials including wool, fur, feathers, silk, felt, and animal hair. They may also consume synthetic fabrics blended with natural fibers.

The larva spins a protective silken case around itself, incorporating fibers from its food source. It carries this case as it moves and feeds. They prefer dark, undisturbed areas and undergo a complete metamorphosis with 5-45 larval molts depending on conditions.

Significant household pest that causes physical damage to clothing, upholstery, rugs, and heirlooms. They provide no direct benefit to humans and can be difficult to eradicate once established.
