Clothing moth larva (Casemaking clothing moth)

Indoor environments, particularly in closets, drawers, or areas where natural fibers like wool, silk, or fur are stored.

Larvae feed on natural animal fibers including wool, silk, fur, feathers, and lint containing natural fibers.

Larvae of this specific species construct a portable silken case incorporating bits of the fiber they are feeding on. They are nocturnal and avoid light.

No health risks to humans, but they are significant pests that cause permanent damage to clothing, upholstery, and carpets.
