The Webbing Clothes Moth

"Tineola bisselliella" is a species of fungus moth. It is the type species of its genus "Tineola". The larvae of this moth are considered a serious pest, as they can derive nourishment from clothing – in particular wool, but many other natural fibers – and also, like most related species, from stored foods, such as grains.
