Tortricid Moth
Cochylis atricapitana
The adult tortricid moth occupies grassy, weedy habitats where its larval host plants grow. It flies in short, quick bursts between vegetation and rests with its narrow forewings folded tightly over its body. Adults may take small amounts of nectar or other liquids while seeking mates and egg-laying sites. Its compact resting posture helps this tiny moth blend into dry stems and plant debris.
