🦋Indianmeal moth
The Indianmeal moth, also spelled Indian meal moth and Indian-meal moth, is a pyraloid moth of the family Pyralidae. Alternative common names are weevil moth, pantry moth, flour moth or grain moth. The almond moth and the raisin moth are commonly confused with the Indianmeal moth due to similar food sources and appearance. The species was named for feeding on Indian meal, with Indian in the New World sense; it does not occur natively in India. It is also not to be confused with the Mediterranean flour moth, another common pest of stored grains.
