Cloth moth larva (Case-making type)

Indoor environments such as closets, pantries, and storage areas containing animal-based fibers.

Keratin-based materials including wool, silk, fur, feathers, and hair, as well as lint or dust.

The larva constructs a portable silken tube or 'case' camouflaged with fragments of the material it is feeding on, which it carries while moving and eventually pupates within.

A primary household pest that causes significant damage to clothing, upholstery, and carpets. They pose no direct health risk to humans but are economic pests.
