Sciota dammersi
leadplant webworm
Sciota dammersi, commonly known as the leadplant webworm, is a species of moth in the family Pyralidae, subfamily Phycitinae. It is one of several leafroller species in the genus Sciota, which are known to serve as prey for the Four-toothed Mason Wasp (Monobia quadridens). The species name honors entomologist Charles Dammers. Very few observations of this species exist in public databases, suggesting it may be uncommon, locally distributed, or underreported.
