Eloria noyesi, the coca tussock moth, is a moth of the subfamily Lymantriinae first described by Schaus in 1927.[1] It is beige and its larvae feed on coca plants. It is found mostly in Peru and Colombia. The government of Colombia has proposed a plan to release large numbers of these moths to destroy the coca crops in their country.
