Kate - It is definitely NOT webbing clothes moth silk. Remember, it's the larvae of WCM's that spin the silken threads from their salivary glands. With this being true, you'd see all sorts of damage and pelletized frass associated with the webbing. There is no damage or frass on this piece of fabric.

We've had an ongoing problem with clothes moths and I'm wondering if this is moth activity, or do we have something else too. Thanks, Kate Kate Kearns Collections Manager Historic Deerfield, Inc.
