Lamida moncusalis, the cashew shoot and blossom webber, is a species of snout moth in the genus Lamida.[2] It was described by Francis Walker in 1859. It is found in India .[3]
The larvae feed on cashew[4] and mango. They web the terminal portions of the new shoots and the blossom, causing the shoots to dry up.[5] The larvae are dark green with yellow longitudinal bands and pinkish dorsal lines. Full-grown larvae reach a length 24–27 mm. Pupation takes place in a cocoon made within the leaf web.[6]
