Moths
Shiny, golden color with a wing span of about 1/2-inch. Moths seen in daylight or flying around are almost certainly something else besides a clothes moth. Rare in recent years but making a come back, the larvae do the actual damage. Feeds only on clothes, etc made from animal fiber (wool, cashmere, fur). Will not feed on man-made fibers. Proper cleaning and storage of items is more important than chemical controls.
