What are the causes of the tiny holes in my shirt?

That same question appears on here occasionally, and I get them too. I believe it's from over stuffing the drawer: Upon closing the drawer, if a shirt catches between the drawer and the dresser frame, it probably causes unseen damage to the fabric that doesn't show up until later, i.e. repeated washings probably put stress on the damaged fabric creating the hole.
I noticed the holes usually appear in the same spot: at the crease, so I still fold my shirts in half lengthwise, but now I roll them the rest of the way.
There are many possibilities in addition to Donna's response. Small holes and other damage can develop:
*during washing and dry cleaning,
*clothes moths cause holes by eating clothing made of all or part wool,
*drying clothing in the sun-as nice as the fresh air and sun feel, your clothes take a beating drying outside on the clothes line,
Our washer and dryer are in our basement. This past summer the basement was full of crickets! They love to eat my clothes, especially underwear! They ruined quite a few pieces this summer and fall.
