Based on the photos I also agree that these are not clothes moths but what
I've heard called brown house moths. I was once told that they are related
to clothes moths which is why they end up in pheromone lures.

I have to say that none of these moths looks like *Tinea pellionella*
or *Phereoeca
uterella. *My guess is that they are all accidentals from outside. I'm
happy to have a look at some specimens, and will be able to say if they are
one of the pest species, but my familiarity with the North American "wild"
microlepidoptera borders on the non-existent, so approaching a local
lepidopterist might be your best bet for a definitive answer.

Hello,

To my eye they are all casemaking clothes moths. They have been known to travel 
through air ducts.

Dear PestList,

Can anyone identify these two sets of moths? We've been finding them in 
mechanical rooms and near exterior doors. The smaller moth (photo "Moth3") has 
been showing up on pheromone traps with webbing clothes moth and casemaking 
clothes moth lures. Only adults have been found.

Thanks in advance,
Megan

I would also appreciate an ID on this particular moth. I’ve been finding them 
off and on for several months.

I would like to know as well. I been seeing the same moth in the HVAC filters 
and occasionally flying around the office area. I have yet to find them in any 
pheromone traps. I posted photos about a month ago asking if anyone could ID 
the moths but didn't get a definitive answer if they were related to webbing 
clothes or casemaking clothes moths.
