Bucculatrix gossypii

Description

Bucculatrix gossypii is a moth of the Bucculatricidae family. It is found in Queensland, Australia. The larvae are considered a minor pest, since they feed on the foliage of Gossypium hirsutum. They initially mine the leaves of their host plant. Later, they eat holes in the leaves. The larvae are white with a black head, and a pair of black dots on each thoracic segment.
