Hello Megan,
Certainly has a resemblance to a type of clothes moth. If it is, they
tend to like a number of different textile type items but have a tendency
towards animal hair/fur, clothing, carpets/rugs, and that type of material.
Check your surrounding environment for similar materials and see if you have
any larvae or more full grown moths. Depending on what you find depends on what
you do. Anywhere from dry cleaning to large scale freezing. Keep the humidity
under control, regular inspection, good house keeping policies, sealing of
items (if appropriate), and closing up entry points will deter further issues.
Sticky and pheromone traps are handy for keeping an eye on the situation.
It might be something else or could have come in on someone, lets hope!

Hello everyone,
Could one of you help me identify this moth? I don't think I've seen it in our
traps before.
Thanks!
