Mediterraean Flour Moths
Mediterranean flour moths are common moth pests of food goods in the kitchen or pantry. This moth attacks flour, grains, cereal, pet food, beans, chocolate and dried fruits. The female moth lays somewhere between 100-200 eggs, often attached to flour or grain particles. These small, white eggs hatch in just a few days and the larvae immediately begin to spin silken threads and crawl around eating. The silken threads mat the food particles together and are one of the more obvious signs of an infestation.
