What does TINEID mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoology
A moth belonging to the family Tineidae, which includes the common clothes moths.
The tineid family covers small, drab moths whose caterpillars chew through wool, fur and stored grain rather than nectar or leaves. A tineid larva spins a silk case it drags around as it feeds, which is why clothes-moth damage often shows up as scattered holes rather than one clean patch. Entomologists use tineid as a quick label for the whole family when discussing pest control or museum specimen damage.
