Pammene critica, the redgram webber or leaf webber, is a moth of the family Tortricidae. The species was first described by Edward Meyrick in 1905.[1] It is found in India and Sri Lanka.[2][3]
Biology
The caterpillar is a pale whitish yellow with more yellowish towards its posterior.[4] In the vegetative stage, the caterpillar webs the leaves of the host plant together and feeds inside the web.[5] Apanteles mohandasi is a specific endo-parasitoid on caterpillars.[6]
Larval food plants are Sorghum, Caesalpinia, shoots and seeds of Cajanus cajan and pods of Crotalaria juncea.[7][8]
