Do moths bite?

2 Answers

Domestic moths found in our homes have absolutely no interest in or even ability to bite people. In fact, out of all of the moth species, most moths have no mouth parts at all, or have atrophied or very basic mouths that cannot bite or chew. The larvae are the ones that munch on our clothing.

There are various species of adult moths but most of them do not bite because they do not have a mouth. Many are also less likely to sting you.
