Indian meal moth (larvae/silken webbing)

Pantries, food processing plants, and grocery stores where stored grains are present

Stored food products including grains, flour, cereal, nuts, dried fruit, seeds, and pet food

Larvae spin characteristic silken webbing as they feed, which binds food particles together. They often crawl away from food sources to find crevices to pupate.

Significant household pest; they contaminate food with webbing, silk, and waste, making it unfit for consumption. They pose no physical danger to humans.
