Webbing Clothes Moth

Tineola bisselliella
Size:

About 3/8-inch long

Color:

Cream, with a tuft of red hair on the top of the head. The larvae are white.

Behavior:

Fabric pests such as clothes moths, although not particularly dangerous, can sometimes cause irreparable damage to personal belongings. These moths are able to digest animal hairs and, therefore, feed on almost any item made of natural fibers, particularly wool and cashmere.
