[pestlist] Help identifying larvae

2017-02-09 Thread Frances Cooper
Hi, I would really appreciate some help identifying the larvae in the attached photo, they are about 5mm long and were found on a pest trap next to a coat stand so it is possible they have been brought in on a coat. Could they be clothes moth larvae or are they too small? [cid:image002.jpg@01D

These look like caterpillars. Could be a tineid moth species. You'll have to do some sleuthing to find out what could be infested. Louis N. Sorkin, B.C.E. | Entomologist, Arachnologist, Myriapodologist Entomophagy Research Division of Invertebrate Zoology | American Museum of Natural History
