Eucopina rescissoriana
Lodgepole Pine Coneborer Moth
A small tortricid moth whose larvae bore into the cones of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta). The common name reflects this specialized association. Adults are rarely observed directly; records primarily derive from larval collections and cone dissections. The species appears restricted to regions where its host pine occurs.
