The moths coming in from the window aren't the ones we are talking about here.

This one is the indian pantry moth that lives in food like flour, grains, cereals etc and can cause havoc in the pantry or kitchen hence the name. They are not harmful to hamsters or humans but its something to watch out for when you see one flying in and out of a hamster cage because there could be more.
