A stored-product moth; larvae infest dried foods, with multiple generations in warm storage conditions.

Larvae feed on nuts, dried fruits, and grains, contaminating products with silk and frass.

Cosmopolitan in temperate regions (e.g., Europe, North America, Australia).

Pheromone traps for adults; regular inspection of stored products.

Sticky traps (e.g., Pro-Pest Pantry Moth Traps) or pheromone-baited delta traps.
