Sounds like the consensus is spider webbing, not moth webbing that we found
today.

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.

Hello, 


I'm attaching a photo of some webbing we found on a wool textile in one of our 
historic houses. 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

It could be moth activity, but look more like spider webbing.
