We have identified these as Tineola bisselliella before (I think) but I wonder if they are not too white. I think they should be more yellow to be Tineola bisselliella. Hmmm...

The Saturation of the colours in photographs is very dependent on the lighting. Putting the Saturation up a bit makes them appear more yellow.

It's not just the photos Don. I remember seeing them and they were grayish white. Many of the other photos of mine are also photos of white ones. I also know that the ones that I had in my house some time ago were beigy yellow in colour. These are not the same colour but could be the same species.
