The batman moth (Coelostathma discopunctana) is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It was first described by James Brackenridge Clemens in 1860.[1]
The batman moth rests with its forewings tucked behind its hindwings, giving the moth a flattened, rounded-triangle like shape. Their wingspan is 11–15 mm. They have an overall light tan coloration, often with a darker patch at the lowermost margins of the forewings. There is a black dot on each forewing above this patch. They may be confused with the very similar looking Sparganothoides lentiginosana.
It is only known from North America, including Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.
Batman moth larvae feed on clover in the genus Trifolium.[2]
