What are Cloth Moths?

There are two distinct types of moth commonly found in Australian households, namely the Webbing cloth moth and the Case-bearing cloth mothThe 6-legged webbing cloth moth is golden brown in color, 8-10 millimeters in length, and with 2 antennae. Its wings have a span of ½ inch, though they can’t fly nicely and only stay in the dark area of the closet. This cloth moth is the most common fabric moth and usually feeds on different animal products such as wool, fur, carpets, clothes, and some furniture with upholstery.    

On the other hand, the case-bearing cloth is 7-10 millimeters and has silvery-brown wings with faint spots, similar in appearance to webbing cloth but more brownish. Same with webbing cloth, it feeds on upholstered furnishings and different garments. ( Related: How To Get Rid Of Carpet Beetles)
