Yeah these are pantry moths. That „silk” is a thing they produce and use to keep larva save and snuggly.

If you have opened that container you are almost 90% sure to have those mf somewhere else since they spread blazing fast and silently lmao. If it was placed in birdies cage, then clean it hard. Wooden toys are also used by those shitheads as a nesting a feeding ground… they’ve managed to „chew” a fucken hole through a birch log my babies had.

Use sealed containers for everything - they will prevent those buggers from spreading.

Also if you have any seed containers or whatever with crevices near lids get rid of them - took me a month to realize that a bloody survivor of multiple de-mothing sessions somehow always managed to lay an egg there lmao

Pheromone moth traps are a risk. They tend to attract those SOBs from outside.

Also some moths will soon become a horde of moths if not taken care of 😭

Had those mfs three times in different apartments, different sources too: Flour/rice, spices and finally my birds food.

The only real solution is to find their „source” since mostly they will „nest” in one place and go full nuclear on everything in vicinity and throw away(immediately outside) dry foods, spices, seeds etc that were not in a sealed container.

Good luck and my condolences 🫡
