Aspilanta

Aspilanta is a genus of very small moths in the family Heliozelidae that is native to North America.

The forewings are patterned with a series of pale metallic markings.

They differ from Antispila species in having reduced wing venation.

The larvae are yellowish or whitish, usually with a dark brown head and prothorax.

When mature, the larvae cut out an elliptic case from the surface of their host leaf and descend to the ground to pupate.
