Varied Carpet Beetles
Adult varied carpet beetles are about 1/10 to
1/8-inch long and nearly round. The body is
usually gray with a mixture of white, brown, and
yellow scales along with irregular black cross
bands.
Black Carpet Beetles
Adult black carpet beetles are oval and appear
to be shiny-black with brownish legs. They vary
in body length from 1/8 to 3/16 inch.
Casemaking Clothes Moth
The Casemaking Clothes Moth is less common than
the Webbing Clothes Moth. Casemaking moths are
smaller, at around 1/8 to 1/4 inch. They spin a
casing or tube from silk. The casing provides
protection in times of danger. Both the webbing
and casemaking clothes moths are controlled in
the same way.
Webbing Clothes Moth
The Webbing Clothes Moth is said to be the most
common variety of fabric pests.
