Meal Moths

Being a keen baker, I keep flour and other grains for baking purposes in the kitchen. Problem is that the Meal Moths have found my stash and lay their eggs in the supplies and those eggs hatch out into little worms which eat the grains. Having eaten the grains they leave a powdery residue which is a bit of a problem. I curse them, but I must also admire their beauty.

A moth against a grey wall. It has dark brown and light brown patches separated by with borders.
Its abdomen is curved upwards.
