On the subject of creatures eating clothes, it's worth mentioning those little beetles that look like small dark/dull coloured ladybirds, most people leave them alone assuming them to be some sort of ladybird, but their larvae is devastating to carpets and clothing, much more so than clothes moths.“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”
