Household Casebearer

Commonly found inside residential homes, garages, and sheds, often on walls or under furniture.

Larvae feed on spider webs, debris, and natural fibers such as wool, hair, and silk.

The larva constructs a spindle-shaped silk case covered in dust, sand, and debris for protection; it can protrude its head from either end to move or feed.

They are considered minor household pests as they may damage silk or woolen fabrics, but they do not pose a direct health risk to humans.
