Female Webbing Clothes Moths will place their eggs deep inside the threads of infested fabric. Females will lay around 50 eggs that will hatch in 4 to 5 days. Once the Webbing Clothes Moth eggs are hatched the larvae will immediately begin feeding. The larvae will grow to be about a half an inch long when fully mature. Eventually they will create a silky cocoon where they pupate. After emerging from the cocoon a Webbing Clothes Moth will typically live for about 2 weeks.
