Dear Diana

I am not sure exactly what you are looking for - damage caused, or 
literally "pests active on textiles". We found live carpet beetle larvae 
on a textile screen recently. We have had the screen frozen but I still 
have a few of the cast larval skins (and the screen) and could fake a 
close-up photo if you like - I don't think you would be able to tell 
that the skins are not live larvae. I also have some photos of clothes 
moth larvae active in a museum display but the quality isn't brilliant. 
And last week I visited a museum in Norfolk where I photo'd dead adult 
carpet beetle visible in a case containing leather, fur and woollen 
flying clothes - but there was no visible damage to the clothes. Let me 
know if you are interested in any of these.
