Female in "calling" position. Emitting pheromones that say "Hey big boy, over here!"

Nice looking moth but I might not want it near my pantry if it likes grains so much.

This is a Meal Moth (Pyralis farinalis) found in stored grain or grain products. Occasionally one finds them in houses, more often they are found in barns or warehouses. Indian meal moths are another similar moth which I find every so often at home. I just move them outside. This is a very pretty moth. V
