Pyralidae Family of moths

The Pyralidae, commonly called pyralid moths, snout moths or grass moths, are a family of Lepidoptera in the ditrysian superfamily Pyraloidea. In many classifications, the grass moths (Crambidae) are included in the Pyralidae as a subfamily, making the combined group one of the largest families in the Lepidoptera. The latest review by Eugene G. Munroe & Solis, in Kristensen (1999) retains the Crambidae as a full family of Pyraloidea.

<i>Acrobasis</i> genus of insects

George Duryea Hulst American minister and entomologist

George Duryea Hulst was an American clergyman, botanist and entomologist.

There is one generation per year.

The larvae feed on Betula species, including Betula populifolia and Betula papyrifera . The species overwinters in the larval stage. Young larvae probably bore into unfolding buds. Older larvae draw several leaves together with silk and consume the margins of the leaves. Pupation takes place in a pupal chamber which is made at the end of the tube. [2]

<i>Betula populifolia</i> species of plant

Betula populifolia is a deciduous tree native to eastern North America.

<i>Betula papyrifera</i> species of plant

Betula papyrifera is a short-lived species of birch native to northern North America. Paper birch is named for the tree's thin white bark, which often peels in paper like layers from the trunk. Paper birch is often one of the first species to colonize a burned area within the northern latitudes, and is an important species for moose browsing. The wood is often used for pulpwood and firewood.
