I find that quite scary! I've had a moth phobia since 1992 when me and the former Mrs Accy went to Corfu to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. On arrival in our apartment I picked up what I thought was a half smoked King Edward size cigar left by a cleaner, only to feel the 'cigar' open up in my fingers then realise it was a sleeping giant moth. When seeing it frantically fluttering around, it must've had a wingspan of over 3 inches!!

It's an issue I have never had to really think about to be fair, although I have long been sceptical about moths actually eating things as they use a proboscis.

I must admit my ignorance, so thanks.

When I discovered them in my carpet, it was heaving with the little larvae buggers!

The moth that I took a photo of last night was like the first one posted by @icowden above.

'Like'?
There are hundreds of species and positive identification can be difficult, especially with the 'Micro Moths'. The differences can be very subtle indeed.

I think I am just about done on the subject now...

• Hundreds of small moths in Hebden Bridge 'like' that one ate pretty much all the woollen items they could find, including carpets.
• I moved house and accidentally transported a half-eaten jumper containing larvae in a bag of clothing.
• By the time I noticed, I had hundreds of small moths 'like' that one.
• I still have problems with moths 'like' that one.
• I am not a moth expert and have no interest in becoming one so that's your lot!
