The tapestry moth is also known by other names, including the carpet moth, the webbing clothes moth, and the common clothes moth. These moths are tiny and often go unnoticed until their damage to clothing and fabrics becomes apparent. The term "tapestry moth" specifically refers to their ability to feed on decorative fabrics, such as tapestries and upholstered furniture. In contrast, the name "carpet moth" highlights their damage to carpets and rugs. The name "webbing clothes moth" describes the silk webbing they produce to protect their larvae, and "common clothes moth" simply emphasizes their widespread presence in homes. Regardless of their name, it's important to take action to prevent and eliminate infestations of these destructive pests.
