Scodes is a genus of moth in the family Gelechiidae. [1] It contains only one species, Scodes deflecta, which is found in the United States, where it has been recorded from Arizona. [2]

The wingspan is about 23 mm. The ground color of the forewings is white, heavily overlaid with light ocherous, fuscous, and blackish scales, the central part of the wing only being nearly unmottled. There is a large round, blackish first discal spot and a small black dot at the end of the cell. The flexus is marked by a few black scales and the veins are indicated by longitudinal blackish-fuscous lines, which terminate in a series of apical spots along the edge of the wing. The hindwings are ocherous fuscous. [3] Adults have been recorded on wing in September.

The larvae feed on Gossypium thurberi . [4]

<i>Gadira petraula</i> Species of moth endemic to New Zealand

Gadira petraula is a species of moth in the family Crambidae. This species is endemic to New Zealand and is only found in mid Canterbury. G. petraula inhabits coastal, montane and low alpine rock sites. The larvae live in rock crevices in a silk shelter from which they emerge to feed. Their host plants are moss or lichens. The adult female is flightless and the male is on the wing in March. This species is classified as "At Risk, Naturally Uncommon" by the Department of Conservation. The 2010 and 2011 Christchurch earthquakes destroyed much of this species preferred habitat. Rock climbers cleaning rocks of the larval host plants are also a threat to the survival of this species.
