clothes mothClothes moths are small moths, as adults have a wingspread of less than ½ inch. Their habits are different from most moths because they are rarely seen flying around lights at night. Rather, they prefer dark closets, attics or other areas and tend to live in dark corners, or in folds of fabric. They will fly occasionally, but normally only on the edges of a lighted area.

Clothes moths are particularly damaging to fabrics stained with materials such as oil from human hair, human sweat, urine, beer, tomato, juice, and soft drinks.
