Observation date: June 22, 2024
Date notes: These Moths keep getting in my trailer even though the screens are on? I'm wondering if there is a possible infestation maybe? I tried Reddit, I also tried a site that said to have all the Moths in Alberta listed but I couldn't find this little guy on there.. So hopefully someone here can help! I don't see any new mysterious holes in my clothes, I just recently cleaned out the trailer closet & also didn't see anything in there, I checked my dry foods along with every cupboard & other place I could possibly imagine they might be getting in or coming from & can't find anything!!! It's just a handful of random moths every night for a about a week now..

Coordinator notes: Sorry to get back to you so late on this. Not an infestation to worry about, these are cutworm moths that feed on vegetations and were likely attracted to the lights of your trailer and somehow found a way in.
