Abstract

Niditinea striolella (Lepidoptera: Tineidae: Tineinae) is commonly regarded as an indoor pest of clothes. However, since N. striolella is rarely collected in the field, detailed biology of the species has been unknown. Individuals of N. striolella were from 161 nests of several animal species in Hokkaido, Japan, from 2022 to 2023. As a result, N. striolella was newly recorded from the nest of the Siberian flying squirrel Pteromys volans orii, the small Japanese field mouse Apodemus argenteus, and the white-throated needletail Hirundapus caudacutus. Furthermore, it was gained that new bionomic findings of N. striolella about larval food resource, pupation site, drought tolerance, and adult mating and oviposition behavior.
