Larvae in fur held under refrigeration show resilience
The Bureau of Entomology reports well grown moth larvae in fur and wool stored at 24 to 48 degrees Fahrenheit, mostly 40F, remained alive after 8 to 12 months. Larvae in fur helmets stored February to December became adults by January in a steam heated building, laying eggs that hatched normally. Six months of refrigeration kept larvae inactive but caused no lasting damage.
