House Moth

DateWed 2010-02-03

A white-shouldered house moth, Endrosis sarcitrella (Lepidoptera: Oecophoridae) on the wall of my bedroom back in October of last year.  The grey markings on the wings can vary quite a bit.  See here for a photo that matches the above one fairly well.  This species is a widespread pest as its larvae feed on dry vegetable matter such as flour and clothing.

Photo taken in Reading, UK, on 2009-10-12.
