Description
Interestingly, Tortricidae larvae, commonly known as leafrollers, engages in an artful camouflage by folding leaves using silk. While many perceive them merely as pests, their diverse interactions with plants make them key studies in coevolution and agricultural science. The scientific misconception lies in their underrated ecological impact, as they not only influence plant life but also serve as a vital food source for numerous predators, thus maintaining the balance of many habitats.
