Ephestia kuehniella

Zeller, 18791475 / 62.063

General comments:
Adventive. Scarce synanthropic resident.

Seldom reported - perhaps becoming rare or perhaps under-reported. There are two problems: first is correct identification, the second is that most discoveries are in commercial premises where the moth is rapidly anihilated and the pest control companies are not permitted to divulge information.

Retained Specimen / Photograph will be Required.

Recorded in 8 (20%) of 41 10k Squares.
First Recorded in 1971.
Last Recorded in 2023.
