Omiodes accepta (Sugarcane Leafroller)

Wikipedia Abstract

Omiodes accepta, the sugarcane leafroller, is a moth of the Crambidae family. It is endemic to Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Maui and Hawaii. The larvae feed on various grasses, including Digitaria prurient, Oplismenus compositus, Pampas grass, Panicum nephehphilum, Paspalum conjugatum, Paspalum orbiculare, sugarcane and the sedge Baumea meyenii. Pupation takes place within a slight cocoon of white silk in the retreat where the larva has lived. Although the cocoon is sometimes made beneath the leaf-sheaths of cane and in other favorable places. The pupal period lasts 8–13 days.
