Fulrada carpasella is a species of snout moth in the genus Fulrada . It was described by the American entomologist William Schaus in 1923 from specimens collected in the Galapagos Islands. The species is recognized for its flower-boring behavior, observed particularly on Santiago Island in April. [1] Distinctive anatomical features described by Schaus include unique scale patterns and structures on the abdomen, which help distinguish this species from others. [2]
