Household Casebearer (Case-bearing Clothes Moth larva)

Commonly found inside residential homes, attached to walls, ceilings, or under furniture in humid climates.

Feeds on natural fibers including wool, fur, feathers, hair, and discarded spider webs.

The larva constructs a spindle-shaped silk case covered in sand, dust, and lint for camouflage. It remains inside this case, extending its head to feed or move, and eventually pupates within it.

A nuisance pest that can cause minor damage to clothing, upholstery, and carpets made of natural animal fibers; they do not pose a direct health risk to humans.
