Acrobasis cunulae is a species of snout moth in the genus Acrobasis . It was described by Harrison Gray Dyar Jr. and Heinrich, in 1929, and is known from Ontario, Canada, and eastern United States.

There is one generation per year.

The larvae feed on Carya species, including Carya illinoensis . Late stage larvae feed on the terminal leaflets of their host plant. They pull together the three most external leaflets with silk. They then construct a tube of frass and silk which is attached to the underside of the midrib of the central leaflet. They then feed on the three leaflets. Pupation takes place in a pupal chamber which is constructed at the end of the tube. [2]

<i>Carya laciniosa</i> Species of tree

Carya laciniosa, the shellbark hickory, in the Juglandaceae or walnut family is also called kingnut, big, bottom, thick, or western shellbark, attesting to some of its characteristics. It is a slow-growing, long-lived tree, hard to transplant because of its long taproot, and subject to insect damage. The nuts, largest of all hickory nuts, are sweet and edible. Wildlife and people harvest most of them; those remaining produce seedling trees readily. The wood is hard, heavy, strong, and very flexible, making it a favored wood for tool handles. A specimen tree has been reported in Missouri with 117 cm (46 in) diameter at breast height, 36.9 m tall, and a spread of 22.6 m.
