Household Casebearer (often referred to as Plaster Bagworm or Case-bearing Clothes Moth)

Typically found indoors in dry, dusty areas such as garages, closets, under furniture, or on carpets and rugs, particularly in humid climates like Florida.

The larvae feed on keratin and detritus, including wool, hair, lint, spider webs, and insect casings.

The larva constructs a silken case, often shaped like a pumpkin seed or teardrop, covered with debris like sand or fibers for camouflage. The larva drags this case around as it moves and can retreat inside if threatened.

Generally considered a pest. They are harmless to humans (they do not bite or sting) but can damage fabrics, clothing, and rugs made of natural fibers.
