From the picture, I think you found Pyralis farinalis. The meal moth. You can
look up info on it. From one site:
* Is a minor pest of coarsely ground cereal products
* Wheat, barley, oats, corn, peas, beans, flour, peanuts, dried fruit,
potatoes in storage, mixed feed, processed cereals, hay (alfalfa and clover)
* Is most abundant in mouldy grain, decaying cereals and cereal
products that have a high moisture content
* May be thought of as an indicator of poor sanitation

Dear Pestlist,
Is anyone able to help identify this moth, which was found indoors in Cleveland
in June? Thanks in advance!
