Description

Pantry Moth (Plodia interpunctella)

See: https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/124184-Plodia-interpunctella

Update on ID: With the assistance of Juan Cruzado Cortés who resides in Linares, Nuevo León, México, and who posted the same moth today on iNat and most importantly knew its IDentity, we have resolved our quest to identify this particular little moth. Once we came across his observation and proper ID it became easy to adopt it and apply it to our case. These small moths, his and ours, are one and the same the US-Mexico border notwithstanding. This is definitely iNat at its best in terms of the sharing and growing of knowledge. Gracias!


Note: Need assistance IDentifying this little moth (see comparison with the .10--cent dime by its side) that appears to be ubiquitous throughout this North Texas region during certain times of the year especially spring and summer and on into the fall season before it too disappears until the next season as the temperatures drop in the area. Please lend your assistance if you readily recognize what the name of this little moth might be. Many thanks in advance!
