Once those little buggers get into the house, they can be tough to get rid of.
They come in the house with the food you buy, and they eat a wide variety of things
It is best to store nuts, grains, flours, cereals, even dried Chile peppers, in containers with right fitting lids.
If, after tossing out contaminated foodstuffs, you still have them, you may need to fumigate your cabinets because they have gotten into the books and crannies.

Looks/sounds like pantry moths

pantry moths
Very likely, there's been a lot of similar moths flapping into our house lately.
Any idea on where can I look for their source? I Mean, how are the able to be find their way on walls? They're attached by an adult one?

Go through all of the dry products in your apartment. This happened to me once and it was a nightmare. Mine infested a bag of hamster food and were able to produce hundreds of worms.

Found them!
There was a cup of old walnuts left for months on a shelf, we got rid of it (there were some larvas)
Thanks guys

Keep an eye out for the next few months... You may have to buy a special trap that attracts males and kills them.

My buddy had them once and they were in some food; I think flour. I've never had direct experience with them.

We've been spotting many moths/butterflies in out apartment in the last months, then few weeks ago those larvas started to crawl our walls.
I'd like to get rid of them, they're cute but a little too many :/
