mediterranean flour moth
The Mediterranean flour moth, scientific name Ephestia kuehniella, is a species of moth in the family Pyralidae. It is a common worldwide pest of cereal grains, dried fruits, nuts, and other food products. The moth is typically greyish-brown in color and the larvae, which cause the most damage, are off-white with a brown head. The larvae are particularly harmful as they produce webbing that can cause the surface of the affected material to appear matted or covered with a thin sheet of silk. The moth’s common name is derived from its being first described from the Mediterranean region.
