Case-bearing clothes moth (larva)

Indoors within homes, specifically in closets, storage bins, and areas with animal-based textiles

Keratin-rich materials including wool, silk, fur, feathers, and hair

Larvae construct a portable silken case incorporating fibers from their food source and carry it with them while feeding. They prefer dark, undisturbed areas.

No health risk to humans, but can cause significant aesthetic and structural damage to clothing, upholstery, and carpets; they are considered a major domestic pest.
