Case-bearing Clothes Moth Larva

Dark, undisturbed areas within homes, closets, and storage containers

Keratin-rich materials including wool, silk, fur, feathers, and hair

The larva constructs a protective silken case or 'bag' covered with fibers from its food source, which it carries while moving and feeding.

A significant household pest that causes damage to textiles and clothing; provides ecological benefit by recycling animal-based nitrogen in nature.
