Case-bearing Moth Larva (Plaster Bagworm)

Typically found inside residential buildings on walls or under furniture, specifically in warm, humid climates.

Larvae feed on spider webs, woolen items, hair, and natural fibers.

The larva constructs a silk case covered in sand, dust, and debris. It can pull its body inside from either end and eventually pupates within this protective shell.

Generally harmless to humans but considered a household pest as they can damage silk or wool fabrics and create unsightly cases on walls.
