Grape Leaffolder Moth

Vineyards, gardens, and woodlands throughout North America where host plants grow.

Larvae feed specifically on the leaves of grapevines (Vitis species), Virginia creeper, and redbud. Adults feed on nectar.

The larvae are known for rolling or folding a leaf and tying it with silk to create a protective shelter while they feed. Adults are primarily nocturnal and are attracted to lights.

Considered a minor pest in commercial vineyards as heavy infestations can reduce the photosynthetic capacity of the vines. They provide a food source for birds and parasitic wasps.
