Household Case-bearing Clothes Moth (Larva/Case)

Found inside homes, particularly on walls, under furniture, and in closets where dust and fibers accumulate.

Larvae feed on silk, wool, spiderwebs, hair, and dead insects.

The larva lives inside a portable, flattened, spindle-shaped case made of silk and covered with household debris and sand. It can turn around inside the case to feed from either end.

Nuisance pests that can damage natural fiber clothing, upholstery, and carpets; they do not pose a direct health risk to humans.
