    red-striped fireworm moth

    Aroga trialbamaculella, commonly known as the red-striped fireworm moth, is a small gelechiid moth native to the eastern and central United States. Adults are active primarily from March to October, though records exist year-round. The species is notable for its larval feeding behavior: larvae skeletonize leaves of various woody plants and construct distinctive frass tubes between fastened leaves.
