Indian meal moth larva

Stored food products, kitchens, pantries, and food processing facilities

Stored grains, cereals, flour, dried fruits, nuts, seeds, chocolate, and pet food

Larvae produce silken webbing as they feed, often causing food to clump; they may crawl away from the food source to pupate on walls or ceilings

Major household and commercial pest that contaminates food with webbing, droppings, and cast skins; non-toxic but results in significant food waste
