Short description of larvae from
An Introduction to Entomology

The burrowing web-worms, A. arcanellus, A. mortipennellus , and A. popeanellus. — The habits of these three species were described by Professor Forbes in his Twelfth Illinois Report (1905). The larvae normally live in the ground feeding on the roots of grass. Each larva makes "a tubular web opening at the surface and leading down into a vertical cylindrical burrow about the diameter of a lead-pencil, and six inches to two feet, or even more in depth." The larva measures about 25 mm in length. Sometimes the larvae injure young com when planted on sod. They surround the base of each plant with a fine web mixed with earth and pellets, building this up in the lower blades, which they slowly eat away. As they get larger they eat the stripped plant to the ground. When disturbed they retreat into their web-lined burrows.

scavenger with a diet similar to Aglossa caprealis (Stored Grain Moth); larva feed on dried grain including corn meal, flour, granola and oats; adults feed on butter, suet, grease, excrement and dried remains of other insects. It's use as a tool of forensic importance is being researched. (Wikipedia)
