Indian Meal Moth (Plodia interpunctella), #6019

At home

This small moth was on my computer screen. I'd noticed it fluttering around earlier in the day and reckoned it must have emerged recently. Not a great time to do so it being middle of winter, even if it is indoors. Very pretty little thing.

The Nature of Things on CBC tonight is all about the critters living in our homes just like this little guy.

That is a pretty one! I've noticed one or two in the house recently, and we even had two on the porch a couple of nights ago as the temps approached 50º F.

I thought the moth was in the night sky when I first saw it! I wonder if it will return and see its photo on the screen!
