Caloptilia serotinella (cherry leaf roller) is a moth of the family Gracillariidae, found in North America.[1]
The caterpillar generates the force required to roll leaves by stretching the silk strands it fixes between opposable plant surfaces.[2] It communicates with other cherry leaf rollers by scraping, plucking and vibrating.[3]
