Casemaking Clothes Moth
The Casemaking Clothes Moth is a small insect known for its destructive feeding habits. Adult moths are about 1/2 inch long and have a golden-brown color with distinctive dark spots on their wings. They are commonly found in homes, particularly in areas where natural fibers like wool, silk, and fur are present.
The larvae of the Casemaking Clothes Moth create protective cases from the materials they consume, which can lead to significant damage to clothing and textiles. These pests thrive in dark, undisturbed areas, making regular cleaning and proper storage essential for prevention.
