Dicymolomia julianalis, or Julia's dicymolomia moth, is a moth of the family Crambidae. It is found in most of eastern North America [2] and on Cuba.
Diet
The larvae have a diverse diet and have been recorded feeding on Astragalus canadensis and Cirsium lecontei. They have also been recorded as internal feeders in cattails ( Typha species) and cactus stems ( Opuntia species). Furthermore, they feed on senescent cotton bolls ( Gossypium species) and are also known as predators on the eggs and larvae of Thyridopteryx ephemeraeformis. [3]
