Mediterranean Flour Moth
Ephestia kuehniella
Adult Mediterranean flour moths shelter around mills, pantries, warehouses, and other places where grain products are stored. They fly mostly at night and do not feed heavily, instead seeking mates and suitable sites for eggs. Females lay eggs close to flour, cereal, or grain so the hatchlings have food immediately. The adults are recognized by their narrow wings, which show pale inner portions and darker outer sections.
