Answer to Insect that loves a woolen coat Daily Themed crossword clue is MOTH.

The "MOTH" is a common insect known for its tendency to infest and damage natural fibers, including wool, fur, silk, and cotton. Moths in the family Tineidae, often referred to as clothes moths or carpet moths, are particularly notorious for their habit of feeding on woolen garments and other textiles made from animal fibers.

These moths are attracted to materials containing keratin, a protein found in animal hair and fibers, which serves as a source of nutrition for their larvae. Female moths lay eggs on suitable materials such as wool clothing, carpets, or upholstery. When the eggs hatch, the larvae (often called "woolly bears") emerge and begin to feed voraciously on the fibers of the material.
