D'accord avec toi Olivier...
Tony M Dec 15, 2008:
Yes, Olivier, that's it! But in scientific terms, there are several different 'house moths', so it depends if you need to be specific or not?
Platary (X) Dec 15, 2008:
Ne serait-ce pas tout simplement la mite qui bouffe nos vêtements dans nos armoires ?

English term (edited): white-shouldered house moth

teigne de la colle

Endrosis sarcitrella

It all depends if you mean it literally, scientifically or not.

In scientific names, there are lots of different types of moth that have 'house moth' in their name, each of which has a different Latin name and many of them different vernacular names in FR.

Vous ne pouvez pas dire que c'est « incorrect », puisque scientifiquement c'est tout à fait correct ; il suffit de savoir le contexte...

House-moths (family Oecophoridae) are much confused with clothes-moths (family Tineidae) but their larvae have much broader feeding habits and do not form silken feeding tubes. Generally they feed on dried animal and plant products, in birds'-nests and no doubt in caves and burrows, and they readily colonise households where a great variety of animal plant materials are used or stored. They can digest keratin, which means they can attack wool and fur.
