The Carposinid Moths are a small group of small moths. These moths typically have broad wings with a wingspan of 1-2 cm. Larvae bore into fruits, plant shoots, and gum oozing from fruit trees. Pupation usually occurs in a cocoon in the soil.
We depend on donations to keep Butterflies and Moths of North America freely available. We want to express our gratitude to all who showed their support by making a contribution this year. You can donate to support this project at any time.
