potato moth
A potato moth is a type of insect that belongs to the Gelechiidae family, scientifically known as Phthorimaea operculella. Also known as the tobacco splitworm or the potato tuber moth, it is a pest commonly found infesting the foliage and tubers of potato crops. The larvae, or caterpillars, cause the most damage by boring into the leaves, stems, and tubers of the plant. Control of this pest can be challenging due to its ability to reproduce rapidly and adapt to various environmental conditions.
