EENY-026: Indianmeal Moth, Plodia interpunctella (Hübner) (Insecta: Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)

Figure 5. Remains of a pupal case of the Indianmeal moth, Plodia interpunctella (Huebner). The larva pupated on the side of a stack of paper cups. All pantry goods must be examined carefully to eliminate the next generation of adults which can fly and thus distribute the infestation further.
