MISCELLANEOUS SMALL MOTHS

Indian Meal Moth - one of the few "pest" species that gives all of the other harmless moths a bad name. Indian Meal Moths live inside homes and buildings, where they eat a variety of stored human food. This species is also known as the Pantry Moth, for obvious reasons. Since they live indoors, Indian Meal Moths can fly even in the dead of winter.
