I agree Gretchen, clothing moths are one of the biggest pest infestations in many museum collections

External email / courriel externe. Actually, they are considered a major pest for many museum and historic house museum collections and spaces, particularly damaging to anything made out of wool, hair, feather, skin, natural history specimens etc. Most museums are susceptible to an infestation, both in collections storage and in the materials used to dress up exhibitions. In one case, an art museum had an ongoing challenge of the wool rugs used stage exhibition areas and the wool carpeting in their auditorium. I have personally dealt with and advised on countless clothing moth (both webbing and casemaking) infestations.

Here is one more! I am a PhD student at Boston University studying the biogeography and synanthropic evolution of the wcm. For a robust study, I need moth samples from all around the globe. I will be sequencing their DNA and comparing them to each other in the hopes of finding some population structure. So far, I still have not had a ton of luck getting samples, so I am switching up my methodology. If this project interests you, send me an email and I will send you a premade kit containing pheromone baited trap, vials of ethanol for preservation, and a return shipping label. Even if you don't think you have moths, if you are interested in any way, let me know and I will send you a trap. All you have to do is set the trap out, date it, and leave it for about 2 months. I will send you a reminder once the two months are up to send me the trap back. Even if there is only one moth on there, I will be overjoyed to receive it. I will also include a hand drawn picture of a moth. Am I a good artist? Not at all. Am I desperate for international samples of webbing clothes moths? Absolutely. Please let me know if this is something you'd like to contribute to! I would be eternally grateful!
