Description: When freshly emerged, the Cadra cautella moth's wings are gray with vague darker markings. The caterpillar has a small black spot at the base of each hair. Warehouse moths are a major pest of flourmills, food processing plants and dried fruits. Silk webbing produced by the caterpillars can block machinery. For an image of the caterpillar see <a href="http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/index.cfm?event=site.image.detail&id=1020">BE1020</a>.
