Acantholyda circumcincta
Acantholyda circumcincta is a species of sawfly in the family Pamphiliidae, a group commonly known as web-spinning sawflies. The genus Acantholyda contains species whose larvae construct silken webs on host plants. Adults are generally small to medium-sized sawflies with distinctive morphological features. Larval stages are associated with coniferous trees, where they feed gregariously within protective webs.
Acleris implexana
Acleris implexana is a small tortricid moth with a wingspan of 13–14 mm, distributed across boreal regions of Europe and North America. Adults are active in late summer and autumn, with larvae feeding on Pinus and Salix species. A notable ecological association involves larvae feeding within pine cone willow galls induced by the gall midge Rabdophaga strobiloides. The species is represented by two recognized subspecies: A. i. implexana in North America and A. i. ferrumixtana in Europe.
