Vespina quercivora

Vespina quercivora is a moth of the family Incurvariidae. It is found in California.[1]

The wingspan is 7–9 mm for males and 7–10 mm for females. The forewings are uniformly fuscous with a slight bronzy lustre. The hindwings are paler and grey. Adults are on wing from early June to late July in one or possibly two generations per year.[2]

The larvae feed on Quercus agrifolia.[3] Young larvae mine the leaves of their host plant. When older, they create a case by cutting oval sections from the host leaves and continue feeding by skeletonising the leaves.
