Indian Meal Moth Larva

Food storage areas such as pantries, kitchens, and warehouses

Stored dry goods including flour, cereal, cornmeal, rice, nuts, dried fruit, and pet food

Larvae spin silk webbing over the surface of their food source, creating 'clumps.' They eventually crawl away from food to find a crevice to pupate.

Significant pantry pest that causes food waste through contamination with webbing and frass. They do not bite or carry diseases but are a major nuisance.
