Case-bearing Clothes Moth (larva)

Indoor environments, particularly in closets, drawers, and storage areas containing animal-based fibers.

Keratin-rich organic materials including wool, silk, fur, feathers, and hair; occasionally feeds on stored spices or tobacco.

Larvae construct a portable silken case incorporating fibers from their food source and remain inside while feeding; they move using their front legs while carrying the case.

Significant household pest that causes physical damage to clothing, upholstery, and carpets. They do not bite humans or pets but are destructive to property.
