Argyrotaenia velutinana explained

Argyrotaenia velutinana, the red-banded leafroller moth, is a species of moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found in the eastern United States and south-eastern Canada, from Quebec and Ontario to Florida, west to Texas and at least Iowa. It has also been reported from British Columbia.[1]

The wingspan is NaNmm.

Neonatal larvae are not thought to naturally commit egg cannibalism. However Rock 1968 was able to induce it in laboratory conditions.[2] They go on to feed on various plants, including the leaves and fruit of apple and other fruit trees, as well as spruce and various vegetables.
