Webbing Clothes Moth
The Webbing Clothes Moth is a small insect known for damaging fabrics, particularly those made from natural fibers like wool, silk, and cotton. Adult moths are about 1/2 inch long and have a golden-brown color with a distinctive pattern of light and dark scales. They are often found in dark, undisturbed areas such as closets and attics.
The larvae of the Webbing Clothes Moth are the primary culprits behind fabric damage. They create silken webs as they feed, which can lead to holes and fraying in clothing and textiles. Proper storage and regular cleaning can help prevent infestations and protect valuable garments.
