Indian Meal Moth (Larva)

Stored food products in pantries, warehouses, and food processing plants.

Dried foodstuffs including flour, cereal, grain, birdseed, pet food, dried fruit, nuts, and chocolate.

Larvae spin silk webbing over food sources as they feed; they often crawl away from food sources to pupate in cracks or corners.

Significant pantry pest that contaminates food with webbing, frass (waste), and cast skins; no direct health risk to humans but causes food spoilage.
