Thank you for the feedback I received. I am concerned as I have now found a few more carcasses of similar-looking moths in the same general area. Is Narcissisticus Mothicus the appropriate name for this species? I cannot seem to find more information based on this name.
My biggest concern is that there are some textiles in this area and I want to ensure they are not in danger. In my condition review of the works, they all appear fine and I do not see any frass or webbing to indicate the moths presence. Any guidance that can be shared is much appreciated.
