Argyrotaenia velutinana, the red-banded leafroller moth, is a species of moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found in the eastern United States and south-eastern Canada, from Quebec and Ontario to Florida, west to Texas and at least Iowa. It has also been reported from British Columbia.[3]

Larva

The wingspan is 13–20 millimetres (1234 in).

Neonatal larvae are not thought to naturally commit egg cannibalism. However Rock 1968 was able to induce it in laboratory conditions.[4] They go on to feed on various plants, including the leaves and fruit of apple and other fruit trees, as well as spruce and various vegetables.
