Case-bearing Clothes Moth (Larva)

Indoor environments, particularly in dark or undisturbed areas like closets, drawers, and under furniture.

Keratin-rich organic materials including wool, fur, feathers, hair, silks, and dusty corners containing natural fibers.

The larva builds a silk case encrusted with fibers of its food source, which it carries for protection. They are most active at night or in dark spaces, moving slowly while dragging their case.

Significant household pest that can cause irreversible damage to clothing, carpets, and upholstery. They pose no direct health risk to humans but can be a nuisance and cause financial loss via textile destruction.
