Parapediasia Teterrellus
''Parapediasia teterrellus'', the bluegrass webworm moth, bluegrass webworm, bluegrass sod webworm moth or bluegrass sod webworm, is a moth of the family Crambidae. The wingspan is about 21 mm. Adults are on wing from May to October in two generations per year. The larvae feed on ''Poa'' species, ''Festuca arundinacea'' and occasionally ''Cynodon dactylon''. Full-grown larvae overwinter within a silk-lined tunnel in the soil or thatch.

Its geographic distribution has been affected by the human colonization of North America. By the late 1800s, ''Parapediasia teterrellus'' encompassed the midwestern United States. It was recorded in Albuquerque, NM and Tucson, AZ in 1935-1940, Los Angeles in 1954, and the San Francisco Bay area in 1988.
