And a long time back, they ruined a bunch of buttons I had sitting in a knitting basket, waiting to be attached to a sweater-in-progress. Turns out the buttons were made of horn and quite irresistible. But then, I’ve seldom maintained “normal household hygiene” in any consistent way.

I think the adults are cute, but anytime I find a larva, it goes into solitary confinement; one ate holes in my favourite sweater a long time ago.
