Idioglossa polliacola is a tiny species of moth of the family Batrachedridae.

[1] It was described as a new species and placed in the family Batrachedridae by Kazuhiro Sugisima and Yutaka Arita in 2000.

Arita had studied the unknown species on and off for a number of decades before it was identified as a type of Idioglossa.

They feed on the undersides of the leaves, each caterpillar individually constructing an elaborate web of silken sheets held off the lower surface of the leaf by tiny pillars of its own frass.

The caterpillars furthermore always chew a small hole through the leaf as an extra escape hatch, rapidly flipping to a specially constructed silken pouch on the upper leaf surface when potential danger nears.
