Skin Moth

Monopis laevigella

Skin Moth

Adult skin moths shelter in dim buildings, bird nests, and other dry sites containing animal remains. They are most active in low light, fluttering short distances to find mates and suitable places to lay eggs. Adults feed little, if at all, and their brief lives are devoted mainly to reproduction.
