Common clothes moth. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the common clothes moth (Tineola bisselliella). This adult moth has large compound eyes (red). Its wings are fringed and covered in scales, some of which have become detached and are on its head (blue). Larvae of the common clothes moth cause damage by feeding on fabrics such as wool, leather, fur and textiles. The larvae pupate inside tunnels woven from silk.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of the common clothes moth, captured through a coloured scanning electron microscope (SEM). The adult moth is depicted with its striking compound eyes in a vibrant shade of red. Its delicate wings are adorned with fringes and covered in scales, some of which have detached and settled on its head, creating an intriguing contrast in shades of blue. While visually stunning, this image also sheds light on the destructive nature of these moths. The larvae of the common clothes moth feed on fabrics such as wool, leather, fur, and textiles, causing damage to household items. These voracious pests construct tunnels woven from silk where they pupate before emerging as adults. Once fully developed into an adult form like the one portrayed here, these moths no longer require sustenance and do not feed further. This SEM photograph serves as a reminder that even seemingly small creatures can have significant impacts within our homes. With its focus on nature's intricacies and entomological wonders, this image captures both scientific curiosity and aesthetic appreciation for the world around us. It invites viewers to marvel at the complexity found within even the most mundane aspects of life while reminding us to protect our belongings from potential harm caused by these tiny but mighty insects.
