Ectomyelois Ceratoniae
''Ectomyelois ceratoniae'', the locust bean moth, more ambiguously known as " carob moth", is a moth of the family Pyralidae. It has a nearly cosmopolitan distribution. Adults have forewings with a pale brown pattern, and plain white hindwings. The female moths find suitable fruit or nuts on which to lay their eggs using volatile substances emitted by fungus which is infecting the material. The larvae are translucent white, with the internal organs visible from the outside. They feed on the seeds and pods of a wide range of plants, including '' Punica granatum'', ''Citrus'' fruit, ''Pistacia vera'', '' Juglans regia'', ''Prunus dulcis'', '' Macadamia integrifolia'', ''Acacia farnesiana'', '' Caesalpinia sappan'', ''Cassia bicapsularis'', '' Ricinus'', '' Erythrina monosperma'', ''Haematoxylum campechianum'', '' Prosopis juliflora'', ''Samanea saman'', ''Phoenix dactylifera'', and ''Ceratonia siliqua''.

Cadra Calidella
''Cadra calidella'', the dried fruit or date moth, is a species of snout moth in the genus '' Cadra'' and commonly mistaken for the species '' Cadra figulilella.'' It thrives in warmer conditions and is found primarily in Mediterranean countries, although it can also be found in Central Asia, Kazakhstan, Transcaucasia, Caucasus, and the western part of Russia. It feeds on dried fruits, carobs, nuts and seeds, hence earning its colloquial name. This diet damages the food industry, and it is a common storage pest. Because of this, much research has been done to study ways to limit its reproduction rate and population size. It was first described by Achille Guenée in 1845. Taxonomy and phylogenetics ''Cadra calidella'' (Guen.) is a member of the family ''Pyralidae''. A synonym is ''Ephestia calidella''—''Cadra'' and ''Ephestia'' are closely related and may be junior synonyms.
