Palpita quadristigmalis
Palpita quadristigmalis, the four-spotted palpita moth, is a moth in the family Crambidae.[1] It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Quebec and Ontario to Florida, west to Arizona and north to Colorado.[2] The length of the forewings is 13.5-14.5 mm. The larvae feed on Ligustrum species.[3] The larvae have also been found feeding on Olea europaea (olive) in Texas. They are recognized as a potential pest, as they are able to defoliate entire orchards and will also feed on the olive fruit. References
