1. Almond moth

   The almond moth or tropical warehouse moth (Cadra cautella) is a small, stored-product pest. Almond moths infest flour, bran, oats, and other grains, as well as dried fruits. It belongs to the family of snout moths (Pyralidae), and more specifically to the tribe Phycitini of the huge snout moth subfamily Phycitinae. This species may be confused with the related Indian mealmoth (Plodia interpunctella) or the Mediterranean flour moth (Ephestia kuehniella), which are also common pantry pests in the same subfamily.Other common names, particularly in nonbiological literature, are dried currant moth and fig moth, which invite confusion with the close relatives Cadra figulilella (raisin moth) and Cadra calidella (dried fruit moth). Like the raisin moth, the almond moth has achieved an essentially cosmopolitan distribution due to inadvertent transport with food products in its larval form. Adults live for about 10 days after eclosion and do not eat, but may drink if water is available. The mating system is polygamous; however, many females will only mate once.

1. Almond Moth

   The Almond Moth or tropical warehouse moth is a small stored-product pest. It belongs to the snout moths, more specifically to the tribe Phycitini of the huge snout moth subfamily Phycitinae. This species is often confused with the related Indianmeal Moth. Other common names – particularly in the non-biological literature – are dried currant moth and fig moth, which invite confusion with the close relatives C. figulilella and C. calidella. C. cautella has achieved an essentially cosmopolitan distribution due to inadvertent transport with its larval food; it has, for example, been transported across Polynesia with copra shipments. Adults live for about 10 days after eclosion and do not eat, but may drink if water is available. The mating system is polygamous; many females will only mate once, however. In mating, which takes several hours, the abdomens are placed end to end. It infests flour, bran, oats and other grains, as well as dried fruits. Caterpillars are cannibalistic and will even feed on their siblings.
