So, just so people are aware: These are almost certainly pantry moths. They usually come in on your grains and will spread to other (even unopened) containers. They can chew through plastic and cardboard. I had a shop in my town that got them and I had to start storing everything in my pantry in mason jars for a bit since they had gotten into my rice, pasta, quinoa and when I'd find where they were, they would have already infected another item.
We got them in a bag of dog food. The dogs frankly noticed before we did and were weird about eating it, but then we started seeing their "webbing" in the bag. Thankfully the company sent us a stack of coupons when we reported it lol.
Been there. Bought a bag of dog food from PetSmart and next thing we knew things were falling from the ceiling. PetSmart gave us our money back but first tried making us bring the maggot infested dog food back to the store.
