Tinea semifulvella is a species of tineoid moth. It belongs to the fungus moth family (Tineidae), and therein to the nominate subfamily Tineinae. It is widespread and common in much of the western Palearctic, but seems to be absent from Portugal and the Balkans as well as the outlying islands (e.g. Iceland). The nocturnal adults are on the wing around May to September, depending on the location, and are easily attracted to light sources.[1]
This smallish moth has a wingspan of 14–22 millimetres (0.55–0.87 in) when adult. They are more colorful than usual for the genus Tinea, though their colors usually fade considerably in dead specimens. The forewings are grey with a brownish tinge at the base, and rusty-red in the outer part. They have a black dot on the edge bordering the hindwings. The latter are a paler and purer grey. The body is dusky grey, but the head has a tuft of brick-red hair.[2] The caterpillars feed on natural fibers, predominantly of animal origin, such as feathers, furs and wool; they have been found in bird nests and were recorded to eat rags and old clothes. But they are not notably synanthropic and generally eat only food that is outdoors; unlike the closely related case-bearing clothes moth (T. pellionella) the present species is rarely if at all recorded as a pest.[3]

Tinea semifulvella er en liten sommerfugl som hører til familien ekte møll (Tineidae). I likhet med en del andre ekte møll er den knyttet til fugler, og larvene spiser ulike slags dødt animalsk materiale. Den kjennes lett fra de andre norske Tinea-artene på den gulrøde fargen på forvingene.
En middelsstor (vingespenn 14-22 millimeter), gulrød møll. Antennene er trådformede og omtrent tre fjerdedeler så lange som forvingene. Hodet og forvingene er gulrøde, forkroppen brun. Forvingen har en liten, mørk flekk ved bakkanten noe utenfor midten. Arten kjennes lett fra de andre Tinea-artene på fargen. Bakvingene er blekt brunlige. Larven er hvitaktig med gulbrunt hode, som har uregelmessige, brune tegninger.
I likhet med de fleste andre Tinea-artene er også denne arten knyttet til fuglereir, der larvene spiser dødt, animalsk materiale. De voksne møllene flyr fra juni til september.
Den er utbredt over det meste av Europa. I Norge er den bare funnet langs kysten nord til Hordaland, men den er ikke sjelden der den finnes.
