Subject: Re: [PestList] Unknown Moth Identification

Not Pantry Moth (Plodia interpunctella) which has a rather different 
colouration, but one of the Pygmy Moths (Nepticulidae) - a group of small 
leaf-mining moths that may come indoors attracted to light, but present no 
threat to the collections. Identification to species requires dissection, and 
would be a bit pointless in this case.

Looks like a pantry moth to me but I could be wrong... i think they go for 
seeds and grains.  Beautiful iridescent scales!

Greetings all,

Could you please help me identify this moth - I can't place it among the usual 
suspects.

Thank you!
