Household Casebearer (Case-bearing Clothes Moth Larva)

Commonly found inside residential homes, specifically in areas with low light like closets, behind furniture, or along baseboards.

Feeds on spiderwebs, wool, hair, silk, and fragments of dead insects.

The larva constructs a spindle-shaped silk case covered in sand, dust, and fibers for protection. It can move by poking its head and legs out of either end of the case.

Generally harmless to humans but can be a minor pest by damaging natural fiber textiles and creating unsightly silk cases on walls.
