Tineid Moth / Webbing Clothes Moth (Larva/Casing)

Inhabits dark, undisturbed areas within homes, such as closets, under furniture, or inside stored textiles and carpets.

Larvae feed on natural animal fibers including wool, silk, fur, feathers, and hair, as well as lint and dust containing animal protein.

Larvae often construct silken tunnels or mats while feeding. They are photophobic (avoid light) and prefer humid, quiet environments. Eggs are laid directly on food sources.

Major economic risk as a textile pest; they cause significant damage to clothing, upholstery, and rugs. They provide no significant benefits to human environments and are considered a nuisance.
