Indian meal moth larva

Pantries, warehouses, grocery stores, and food processing facilities worldwide

Stored grains, flour, cornmeal, cereal, nuts, dried fruit, seeds, pet food, and chocolate

Larvae spin silk webbing over food sources as they feed; they move away from food sources to find crevices or wall-ceiling junctions to pupate.

Significant household and commercial pest that contaminates food with webbing and frass (waste); non-toxic to humans but results in significant food waste.
