Household Casebearer (Case-making Clothes Moth larva)

Indoor environments, particularly in humid areas, under furniture, or on walls and floors with access to debris.

Larvae feed on natural fibers like silk and wool, as well as dead insects, spider webs, and human hair.

The larva constructs a protective spindle-shaped case from silk and environmental debris (sand, lint, soil). It can move and feed without leaving the case; it is often seen dragging the case along walls.

No health risk to humans or pets. However, they are a household pest that can damage natural fiber clothing, rugs, and upholstery.
