    1. What is this?
    2. How and why have they invaded my flat, apparently from the northern exposed window? We were away for a few days.
    3. How can I prevent them from coming back?
  • are they moth-y or beetle-y?
    my dad has been having a problem with food moths. you can get them inside bought packs of dry food like rice, then they get out and take up residence in your cupboard. Indian Meal Moth, I believe. they move like a cross between a moth and a fly. I've killed a flying one and about 10 caterpillar/maggot things tonight, but numbers are down from the summer since he's been keeping stuff in boxes and in the fridge. apparently freezing kills the eggs/pupae so if you suspect something you could put it in the freezer for a few days.

  • Pretty sure it is one of those:

    Thankfully not to scale, and not in my food drawer... Freezing is a good tip, but I wouldn't risk it to be honest (as much as I hate food waste).
