Webbing clothes moth

Typically found inside buildings, particularly in darkened areas such as closets, wardrobes, and upholstery.

Larvae feed on natural fibers containing keratin, such as wool, silk, hair, fur, and feathers.

The adults do not feed and are weak fliers that prefer crawling into dark crevices. The larvae create silken mats or tubes as they feed and go through a complete metamorphosis (egg, larva, pupa, adult).

They are a household pest that can cause significant damage to clothing, carpets, and heritage textiles. They pose no direct health risk to humans but have no ecological benefits in a domestic setting.
