Case-bearing clothes moth (larva)

Indoor environments, specifically closets, wardrobes, and upholstery where natural fibers are stored

Keratin-rich organic materials including wool, fur, feathers, hair, silk, and occasionally spilled food or fish meal

Larvae construct and live inside a portable silken case camouflaged with fragments of their food source. They are generally light-avoidant and crawl across surfaces dragging their protective tube.

Economic pest that causes significant damage to clothing, carpets, and textiles; no direct health risk to humans but can destroy expensive natural fiber items.
