The larvae of the various domestic pests are all very similar.
The only easy way to identify them is to rear them to the adult moth.

Thanks for that donhe, it came out of the pantry so I just assumed a meal moth. Maybe I should stick to natives in the future but I'm sure we will see the adult moth emerging as well.
Cheers, John
