Cotton Web Spinner
Achyra affinitalis
The adult is a small moth that rests in vegetation by day and becomes active at night. It feeds sparingly on nectar or other liquid sources, while most of its energy goes into finding mates and laying eggs on suitable host plants. Its wings allow quick, erratic escape flights, and its muted coloring helps it disappear against dry leaves and stems.
