Seen hover-taxying (you couldn't really call it flying) across the carpet in my study this morning was a freshly-emerged tineid. I don't think there's much doubt that this is Tineola bisselliella although it'll be checked in the usual way. It is only the third I've ever seen in Bucks after one to MV light on Rammamere Heath in 2017 and an example which turned up in the garden actinic trap here during July last year. The question now is to find where it might have come from because our carpets are all of man-made fibre...

Hi Dave, I've had a couple in Bucks, both outside (May 2020, July 2021), if you have it indoors, Id start checking all your clothes and carpets!
