Where to Find Them
To track down kamitetep, focus on spots where organic material accumulates:
-
Linen closets and carpeted rooms
-
Cardboard storage boxes
-
Dark corners of attics and basements
-
Light fixtures (adults are attracted to light)
The most obvious clue is their tubular, flat cases hanging on walls, ceilings, or fabrics. Sometimes you’ll even see the larvae crawling half-in, half-out of their case.
