They look like Webbing Clothes Moths to me but I am hoping I’m wrong - any help? There seem to be small white eggs all over the fur parts, there was at least one larva and many adults, I am attaching photos of each, some eggs can be seen in moth2.JPG. I am already bagging and freezing all the fur/leather/textile objects in the store but am hoping to nail down a species so I can purchase pheromone traps. On the plus side, the store seems much more willing to comply with my recommendation to let me freeze incoming items now… Thanks in advance!
