So the wife found this little guy crawling up the side of our fridge. It's about 3/4 of an inch or 1.9cm. Anyone know what it is? Thanks!

Sorry, don't know. It is a nice shot of it though. The people at the macro section might be able to id it.

Pantry moth larvae maybe...

Had an infestation of these in a workplace kitchen a couple of years ago, they can arrive in dry foods like flour or oats.

An immature inch worm? (thus the only 3/4" size) :p


All I want is just a little more than I'll ever have.

I would say inch worm as well, when it crawled did it bunch up in the middle then stretch back out? We used to play with them in the Midwest, and grandma would say they were measuring us for new clothes!

Looks like an Armyworm of some type . More than likely came off some produce you bought recently or had in the fridge from a garden. Do you buy organic produce???

Hmmmm, I live/work in Albania, so organic no, but fresh from someones land yes. I think that's probably what it came from. I looked up Armyworm on google and the images that came up were right on. Thanks!

Good stuff, I was thinking Beet Armyworm to be exact but it could be any variation. Harmless either way!
