}} Pyralis manihotalis is a moth of the family Pyralidae described by Achille Guenée in 1854. DistributionIt is a widespread, pan-tropical species (Robinson et al., 1994[1]), known from Africa, India, Sri Lanka, China, Taiwan, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines, Australia, Samoa, Hawaii, South America and the West Indies. It is occasionally recorded from Europe through accidental importation in bones and animal hides. DescriptionThe wingspan is about 12–20 mm (Robinson et al., 1994; Weinstein & Edwards, 1994;[2] Wang, 2000[3]), although given as a rather generous 24–37 mm in Goater (1986).[4] EcologyThe larvae feed on a wide range of dead and decaying materials, including stored grain, meal, pulses, dried fruit, bones, animal hides (Goater, 1986; Robinson et al., 1994) and chocolate. Adults are primarily nocturnal, though easily disturbed by day in warehouses; they are attracted to ultraviolet light (Robinson et al., 1994). Weistein and Edwards (1994) found a self-sustaining population of this moth species feeding on bat guano in a cave.
