Acleris kearfottana
Acleris kearfottana is a small tortricid moth with a wingspan of approximately 15 mm. It is known from northeastern North America, with records from Maine, Ontario, Pennsylvania, Quebec, and West Virginia. Adults are active in spring, summer, and late autumn, suggesting a possible multivoltine life cycle. The larvae feed on specific host plants including sweetfern (Comptonia peregrina), bayberries (Myrica species), and witch-hazel (Hamamelis).
Aroga
Aroga is a genus of small moths in the family Gelechiidae, first described by Busck in 1914. The genus contains multiple species distributed across North America and parts of Eurasia. At least one species, Aroga argutiola, has been documented as a leaf-tier on sweet fern in Michigan, with a univoltine life cycle. Most species are poorly studied beyond basic taxonomic descriptions.
