Archips cerasivorana (Ugly-nest Caterpillar Moth)

Synonyms: Lozotaenia cerasivorana

Wikipedia Abstract

Archips cerasivorana, the ugly-nest caterpillar moth, is a species of moth of the Tortricidae family. The caterpillars of this species are known to create nests by tying the leaves of their host plant together. Within the nests, they live and feed off the leaves that have been tied together. The larvae are brownish or greenish yellow with a shiny dark brown head. Larvae can be found from May to July. The species overwinters as an egg, and pupation takes place within the nest. Caterpillars are seen follow one another in trails, a behavior prompted by the release of signaling pheromones from their spinnerets.
