Moth

Below are articles from the following dictionary:
Smith's Bible Dictionary

Moth:

By the Hebrew word we are certainly to understand some species of clothes‐moth (tinea.) Reference to the destructive habits of the clothes‐moth is made in Job 4:19; 13:28; Psalm 39:11, etc. (The moth is a well‐known insect which in its caterpillar state is very destructive to woollen clothing, furs, etc. The egg of the moth, being deposited on the fur or cloth, produces a very small shining insect, which immediately forms a house for itself by cuttings from the cloth. It east away the nap, and finally ruins the fabric. There are more than 1,500 species of moths.-McClintock and Strong's Cyclopedia.)
