Indianmeal Moth (Larval Silk/Casing)

Commonly found in pantries, kitchens, and food processing facilities where dried goods are stored.

Larvae feed on dried grain products, seeds, nuts, dried fruits, chocolate, and pet food.

Larvae spin characteristic silken webbing as they feed, often matting food particles together. They may crawl away from the food source to pupate in cracks or crevices.

Major household pest that causes significant food spoilage and economic loss. They do not bite or sting and are not known to transmit diseases, but infested food must be discarded.
