European Grain Moth
Nemapogon granella
The European Grain Moth (Nemapogon granella) is a small but economically significant moth species in the family Tineidae. It is known for its association with stored grains and cereal products, where it can cause damage. The larvae are the primary pests, feeding on grains, cereals, nuts, and even dried fruits. They create webs as they move, which can contaminate food supplies.
