Elizabeth,


I think you can cross webbing/case making moths off the list for that first 
one.  On your moth, the head looks different, the body looks a little "thicker" 
and webbing moth larvae are white.


Not sure on that second one...

Hello all, 


I would be grateful if you could help me identify these moths. Both are the 
first of either type we have found. The moth in image 1 also appears to have 
larvae associated with it on the trap. The trap has only been in place since 
September 19.




Image 1: non-pheromone sticky trap, 6.5 mm long (case-bearing clothes moth?)
Image 2: on a window sill, 6 mm long



Thank you,
Elizabeth

Hello Everyone,


A mask recently came in with evidence of wood boring pests.  We will be 
freezing the mask.  The beetle pictured was found in the wrapping (it was found 
dead).  I am wondering, can anyone confirm if this is a Powderpost beetle vs a 
Furniture beetle?


In the end, does distinguishing between the 2 really matter? (treatment 
methods, severity of damage, one being considered "worse" than the other...)


Thanks!
Todd Holmberg
