P9160026 Meal Moth - Pyralis Farinalis

(Thanks for ID, Bob.)
Was on the wall near my pantry closet and I haven't seen any other. Very careful of how I store my grains. I hope this one's arrival was just an accident! Google Lens identified it - I hope it may have been wrong. Update: No more after this one!

What an excellent capture of this moth! Hope it was just passing through. V.

Gorgeous moth and fantastic photo. Yes, it is a meal moth, I occasionally find them here but it doesn't necessarily signal an infestation. V
