• Stilbosis quadricustatella

  Stilbosis quadricustatella is a leaf-mining moth in the family Cosmopterigidae. It creates internal mines in oak leaves and exhibits host-specific variation in population density, with higher densities on sand live oak (Quercus geminata) compared to water oak (Quercus nigra). Its population dynamics are shaped by differential parasitism and predation rates across host species.
