Bedellia Somnulentella
''Bedellia somnulentella'', the sweet potato leaf miner, is a moth in the family Bedelliidae. Description The wingspan is 8–10 mm. The larvae feed on '' Calystegia pubescens'', ''Calystegia sepium'', ''Convolvulus althaeoides'', ''Convolvulus arvensis'', ''Convolvulus siculus'', ''Convolvulus tricolour'', ''Ipomoea batatas'' and ''Ipomoea purpurea''. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine starts as a narrow tortuous corridor with a central frass line, that often cuts off part of the leaf. Later, larvae leave the mine and begin to make a series of full depth fleck mines. Pupation takes place outside the leaf. The pupa is attached to a leaf without a cocoon. Distribution Originally from Asia, where its food plants are found, it has reached a nearly cosmopolitan distribution and has been recorded from Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, southern Kazakhstan, Kirgizia, Uzbekistan, nearly all of Europe, the Middle East, Africa, India, Japan, North America, Australia, New Ze ...

Batrachedra Arenosella
''Batrachedra arenosella'', the armoured scale eating caterpillar or the coconut moth, is a species of moth of the family Batrachedridae. It was first described by Francis Walker using specimens collected in Auckland, New Zealand. It has been hypothesised that the New Zealand moth may contain two distinct species. As well as the moth species in New Zealand, this name has been applied, perhaps incorrectly, to moths found in India, Indonesia, the Malay Peninsula, and Réunion, as well as in Australia, from the Northern Territory and northern Queensland to New South Wales and South Australia. Taxonomy ''B. arenosella'' was first described by Francis Walker in 1864 using specimens collected in Auckland, New Zealand by Daniel Bolton. From 1924 this species name was also applied to moth species found in south east asian countries as well as in Australasia that are known to ingest the flowers of coconut trees. The application of this name to these moths has been argued to be inco ...
