Indian Meal Moth (Larva/Pupa stage)

Commonly found in kitchens, pantries, and food processing facilities globally.

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

Larvae spin characteristic silken webbing throughout food sources while feeding; they often crawl away from food sources to pupate in wall crevices or ceilings.

Significant household pest; contaminates food with silk, excrement, and shed skins. They do not bite or sting but cause economic loss through food spoilage.
