Wikipedia

  1. Angoumois grain moth

    The Angoumois grain moth (Sitotroga cerealella) is a species of the Gelechiidae moth family, commonly referred to as the "rice grain moth". It is most abundant in the temperate or tropical climates of India, China, South Africa, Indonesia, Malaysia, Japan, Egypt and Nigeria, with its location of origin being currently unknown. It is most commonly associated as a pest of field and stored cereal grains as they burrow within the kernel grains of crop plants, rendering them unusable for human consumption. By laying eggs between the grains themselves and hatching at a later time, often during the processing, transportation or storage stages, the moth can be transported to households or countries presently free of Angoumois grain moth infestations. Thus, constant protection against the Angoumois grain moth is required for grain up till the time of consumption.

  1. angoumois grain moth

    The Angoumois Grain Moth (Sitotroga cerealella) is a species of small moth of the family Gelechiidae that is responsible for destroying harvested grains. It takes its name from Angoumois, the province in France from where it was first described. The moth is a worldwide pest, particularly in warm climates, and primarily infects cereal grains, including corn, wheat, barley, rice, and oats. The larvae of the moth are the main culprits for damage, as they bore into the grains and feed internally, rendering them unfit for human consumption.
