Ailanthus webworm
The Ailanthus webworm, ''Atteva aurea'', is an ermine moth now found commonly in the United States. It was formerly known under the scientific name ''Atteva punctella'' (see Taxonomy section). This small but very colorful moth resembles a true bug or beetle when not in flight, but in flight it resembles a wasp.
==Host plants==
The Ailanthus webworm is thought to be native to South Florida and the American tropics (south to Costa Rica),which were the habitat of its original larval host plants: the Paradise Tree (''Simarouba glauca'') and ''Simarouba amara''.
Another tree called Tree-of-Heaven (''Ailanthus altissima''), originally from China, has been widely introduced and naturalized, and ''Atteva aurea'' has been able to adapt to to this new host plant, giving rise to its common name, the "Ailanthus webworm".
Ailanthus, common name "Tree of Heaven", is considered an invasive species, although it is still sold by nurseries as yard plant, mainly because it is one of the species that will grow in polluted or otherwise difficult places. ''Atteva aurea'' can be a minor pest in nurseries, although it rarely does serious damage.
