New moth in house

Oceanside, NY

Hello all,

Thank you for your help on my previous thread. Found a new moth in house, no idea what it is and if its a meal moth. We had been moth free for a week or so and I just found this guy. We have moth traps out but they have caught nothing so far.

Thank you for the help!

Not an Indianmeal moth; can't tell you much more from these images...

This is maybe the best one I got. Are there other type of meal moths? I just want to make sure its my house is not infested heh.

The only other moth species likely to infest food products stored in a pantry is the Mediterranean flour moth, and that does not look like your specimens. See http://mothphotographersgroup.msstate.edu/species.php?hodges=6020 for flour moth images.
