Anopina arizonana is a moth of the family Tortricidae first described by Lord Walsingham in 1884. [1] It is found in North America from southern interior British Columbia and from Waterton Lakes, Alberta, south to Arizona.

The moth is about 16 mm. [2] The forewings are shiny yellow with silvery lines on the basal half and the postmedian area. The hindwings are uniform dark grey.

The larvae possibly feed on dead leaves of Betula and Salix species. The larvae are white with a yellowish-orange to pale-yellow head with a few darker markings. [3]

<i>Archips cerasivorana</i> Species of moth

Archips cerasivorana, the ugly-nest caterpillar moth, is a species of moth of the family Tortricidae.

The larvae are brownish or greenish yellow with a shiny dark brown head. Larvae can be found from May to July. The species overwinters as an egg, and pupation takes place within the nest. Caterpillars are seen to follow one another in trails, a behavior prompted by the release of signaling pheromones from their spinnerets.
