Indianmeal Moth Larva (Pantry Moth)

Commonly found in residential kitchens, pantries, and commercial food storage areas.

Feeds on stored dried grain products, flour, cereal, nuts, seeds, chocolate, and dried fruits.

Larvae spin silk webbing through the food they inhabit. They often crawl away from their food source to find a crevice to pupate.

Considered a major pest of stored food. They are not poisonous or known to carry diseases to humans, but they cause significant economic loss and food waste.
