Tortricid Moth (Leafroller Moth)

Widely distributed in gardens, orchards, forests, and shrublands where host plants are available.

Larvae (caterpillars) feed on foliage, fruit, and seeds of various plants; adults primarily feed on nectar.

Larvae are known for rolling or tying leaves together with silk to create a protective shelter for feeding and pupation. Most species are nocturnal as adults.

Many species are significant agricultural and forestry pests (e.g., codling moth or spruce budworm); ecologically, they serve as a food source for birds and predatory insects.
