The Indian-meal moth has a wing-spread of about 2 centimetres. The forewings are creamy white next to the body, and have a reddish-brown colour with a coppery lustre on the outer two-thirds. The female moth lays about 200 eggs, either singly or in groups, on food material. The larvae are dirty white in colour, often with a greenish or pinkish tint. The newly hatched larvae are almost never seen because of their small size and the fact that they burrow as far as two metres into the grain mass. They normally remain in the grain until they have completed their larval growth. When fully grown they are about 1.2 centimetres long. In summer their life cycle is about six weeks. 1, record 1, English, - indian%2Dmeal%20moth

The Indian-meal moth is cosmopolitan in distribution, feeding on stored grain as well as nuts, dried fruits and packaged cereals. The principal damage caused to wheat is to the germ : a single larva may destroy the germ of approximately 50 kernels in completing its development. Degermed kernels reduce the grade and produce flour inferior in baking quality. 1, record 1, English, - indian%2Dmeal%20moth

La pyrale indienne de la farine est un insecte cosmopolite qui se nourrit du grain entreposé ainsi que de noix, de fruits secs et de céréales en boîte. Elle s'attaque principalement au germe du grain de blé; en effet, une seule chenille peut détruire le germe d'environ cinquante grains au cours de son développement. La présence de grains dégermés diminue la qualité des céréales ainsi que la valeur boulangère de la farine. 2, record 1, French, - pyrale%20indienne%20de%20la%20farine

Les ailes de la pyrale indienne de la farine ont une envergure d'environ 2 cm. Les ailes antérieures sont, à la base, d'un blanc crème et, sur les deux tiers restants, d'un brun roux aux reflets cuivrés. La femelle pond environ deux cents œufs, qu'elle expulse isolément ou en groupe sur ce qui lui sert de nourriture. La chenille est de couleur blanc jaunâtre, souvent teintée de verdâtre ou de rosâtre. Il est difficile de déceler la présence de la chenille nouvellement éclose parce qu'elle est très petite et qu'elle pénètre jusqu'à 2 m de profondeur dans la masse des grains. Elle y demeure habituellement jusqu'à la nymphose. Elle mesure à ce moment environ 1,2 cm. En été, le cycle évolutif demande environ six semaines. 2, record 1, French, - pyrale%20indienne%20de%20la%20farine

It has developed from its initial roles of mixing and forming as applied to macaroni production to the point where the food extruder is now considered a high-temperature-short-time bioreactor which transforms a variety of raw ingredients into modified food ingredients and finished food products.... Initial applications of the food extruder involved its use to reform degermed cereal grits into macaroni, snacks and ready-to-eat cereals.... Filled snacks which contain an oil emulsion filling, RTE cereals with a fruit gel or fruit flavored component, and pet foods containing multicolored textured pieces to simulate bones or other meat products are examples. 2, record 5, English, - extruded%20cereal
