Household Casebearer moth

Found inside homes, particularly in damp areas, on walls, and under furniture where dust and spider webs accumulate.

Larvae feed on spider webs, wool, silk, hair, and other organic debris found in household dust.

The larva constructs a protective silken case covered in sand, dust, and debris. It can poke its head out of either end to move or feed and stays inside the case until it pupates and emerges as a small moth.

They are considered minor household pests because they may damage silk or woolen fabrics. However, they are non-toxic to humans and pets and help clean up spider webs and organic detritus.
