dust bunny

Under-bed accumulation

A dust bunny is a small clump of dust, lint, and hair that accumulates in corners, under furniture, or anywhere cleaning is neglected.

The fluffy, lightweight clusters drift when disturbed: I swept out a family of dust bunnies from under the bed.

Also called a dust ball.
