I think I have some like these, too. Don't know what they are. Also a lot of wainscot type moths. Posted 6 years ago

  They're so nondescript that I can't figure them out. Posted 6 years ago

    The first thing I thought was "wainscot" as well. :/ This one looks like it may be worn a bit too, so it might be difficult to narrow down? Posted 6 years ago

      Exactly my thought. It is looking a bit ragged and trying to focus on any key features has been more of guesswork for me. Posted 6 years ago
