Flying bug clinging to light

Question: I think I have identified my bug problem, but want to make sure  I'm correct.  Are there indian meal moths in PA? I really noticed them flying in the house tonight It appears as if they are a red color under their wings. They cling to light. I see them during the day near my plants & climbing the sunlight filled windows.

 

ANSWER  Probably what you have are Indian meal moths--yes they are in PA.  The adult moth is brown and tan colored, and the caterpillars can range from green to pink.
