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
