CASEMAKING CLOTHES MOTH
The larvae of these moths live in a portable, flat silken case, which they carry as they feed. Larvae do the damage, and are able to turn completely around within their case. The larva must remain in its case at all times; it will die if removed. The case is usually noticed on walls. The adult is small, only about ¼ inch long, and is grayish-brown in color. They eat any natural fibers from animals (such as wool), and will not touch silk, paper, or any plant materials. They will also feed on blended fibers as long as some are natura

Life Cycle
The female lays eggs directly in the infected materials. In about a week, the larvae hatch and spin a web around themselves. The larval stage lasts from 10-12 weeks. The pupa also form within the same case once both ends are sealed they stay inside for 9-19 days before emerging. The adult will only live for a few days. Three to four generations can be produced each year.
