Wikipedia Abstract

Oreisplanus munionga, the alpine sedge-skipper, is a butterfly of the Hesperiidae family. It is found in the Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, Tasmania and Victoria. The wingspan is about 30 mm. The larvae feed on Carex species (including Carex appressa and Carex longebrachiata) and Scirpus polystachyus. They construct a shelter made by joining the leaves of its host plant with silk. It rests in this shelter during the day.
