'''''Aglossa caprealis''''', the '''stored grain moth''', is a [[moth]] [[species]] of the [[Family (taxonomy)|family]] [[Pyralidae]]. It is found globally, though its native range is presumably the western [[Palearctic]] or nearby regions, as in other ''[[Aglossa]]'' species.
The [[wingspan]] is 23–27 mm. The moth flies from June to August, depending on the location. [[Image:Buckler W The larvæ of the British butterflies and moths PlateCXLIX.jpg|thumb|140px|left|Figs.5. 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d larvae in various stages 5e case]] The larvae feed on dry plant waste, [[grain]] (e.g. [[maize]]), [[hay]], [[straw]] and decaying [[manure]]. Sometimes, they even eat animal [[Carrion|carcasses]], [[suet]], [[lard]], [[pork rind]]s and other [[fat]]ty materials.<ref>Grabe (1942)</ref>
