Indian meal moth (larva/pupa stage)

Indoor environments where food is stored, such as pantries, kitchens, and food processing plants.

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

Larvae spin silk webbing through food sources as they feed; they often crawl away from food sources to find a high crevice (like a container lid) to pupate.

No health risk to humans or pets; however, they are a major nuisance pest that causes significant food spoilage and economic loss.
