Characteristics

Case-bearing clothes moths look similar to common clothes moths, with furry, light-coloured wings with several darker spots, a dark brown head with two large, black eyes set on either side and long, thin antennae. The difference is that their larvae feed inside portable cases made from natural fibres instead of the flimsy cocoons made by clothes moth larvae.
