Case-bearing Clothes Moth (Larva)

Indoor domestic environments, specifically closets, rugs, and storage areas

Keratin-based animal fibers such as wool, silk, fur, feathers, and hair

The larva constructs a portable silken case covered with debris and fibers from its food source, which it carries while feeding and later uses to pupate.

Harmless to humans and pets but a significant domestic pest that causes permanent damage to clothing, upholstery, and carpets.
