Feeding on Aesculus pavia flavescens, it seems like they mostly keep to the underside of the leaves for what I guess is to avoid predation. They no longer exhibit the gregarious nature at this size, and they now eat the leaflet veins but leave the midrib.

Clouded Veneer Moth (Prionapteryx nebulifera)

Observer

Date

July 2023

Description

Silk-fastened sand tubes on the stems of Prunus pumila in sand dunes.

Whereas similar sand tubes observed here last month by @tyler_miller appeared fresh and intact, the tubes observed today were in disrepair. Quite possibly the constructors have matured given that the flight dates for the species in the area span July 16-Aug 23 (n=5).


Scholtens (1996) noted:


Prionapteryx nebulifera Steph.-Cheboygan, Emmet: 4-25 July. This distinctive looking species flies in sandy areas including inland jack pine plains and on the lakeshore dunes. Balogh has reared this species from sand cherry (Prunus pumila), on which it forms sand tubes leading from the substrate to the leaves of the plant. Daecke (1905) described this species making sand tubes on huckleberry and sand myrtle in New Jersey. Larvae retreat into the tube when not feeding.

These are the silk tubes the larvae weave in the sand. According to Powell there are several other inverts that weave silk tubes in sand, but the tubes of this moth are always attached to living vegetation, often early stabilizing plants like Ambrosia, but they are generalists that will feed on many dune plants, including Eriophyllum (shown here), lupines, coyotemints, etc.
