What do moths look like?

Moths vary dramatically in appearance and size depending on the species. Some are massive and others tiny. Moths typically have two pairs of wings covered in scales, a coiled proboscis, and large compound eyes. Certain species of moths are brilliant with metallic colors while other are drab in browns or grey. Most indoor infesting moths are smaller than 2 cm wingspan and often are shades of grey or brown to reddish brown.

Frequently Asked Questions

There are many different species of moths, but homeowners usually encounter clothes moths and pantry moths. These pests are attracted to a variety of household items, which they may use as a food source or a place to lay eggs.

Pantry moths, such as the Indian meal moth, eat dry goods, including grains, nuts, flours, spices, and chocolate. Clothes moths infest items like clothing and upholstery made of animal-based materials.

The extent of moth damage depends on the degree of infestation. A large population in the house can be quite costly. Clothes moth larvae leave behind holes in garments and feces stains as they feed, while large amounts of food may need to be thrown away due to contamination from pantry moth webbing, cocoons, and droppings.

Moth signs depend greatly on the species. Indoors, moths are detected by the adults as they fly about the room or rest on surfaces. Fabric-feeding moths are detected when feeding damage to fabrics is discovered. Some will also leave webbing, cocoons and even droppings as evidence of their activity. Stored product moths may leave behind damaged food items, webbing and droppings as well. Some moths will leave their food source when it time to pupate. The pupae may be seen in corners of cabinets, drawers or walls.

Moths are capable of infesting a home long before their populations are noticed. As a result, substantial damage can occur to clothing or furnishings.

While some are harmless and others are known to be beneficial for their silk and nutritional value, most moths and caterpillars are considered nuisance pests. A few, including the Io moth, the saddleback caterpillar moth and the southern flannel moth, are more concerning because the larvae can sting. Particularly in agricultural communities, some moth and caterpillar populations cause severe damage.

Spongy moth caterpillars are known to damage forested areas in the northern United States.

Fruit farms suffer from codling moth infestations, while cabbages and mustard crops are often destroyed by the diamondback moth.

Some moth larvae are known to consume cotton, tomatoes and corn. These larvae are commonly referred to as cotton bollworms, tomato fruitworms and corn earworms. Some moth species are also known to eat fabrics made from natural fibers, such as wool and silk.
