''Hyposmocoma carnivora'' is a species of moth of the Cosmopterigidae family. It is endemic to Hawaii. The wingspan is for males and about for females. The larvae have been reared on snails of the ''Tornatellides'' genus and pupae of ''Drosophila melanogaster''. They have also been observed preying on other ''Hyposmocoma'' larvae and even cannibalise larvae of their own species. The larvae live in a larval case which has the form of an elongated structure with one entrance at each end. It is decorated with bits of sand, pebbles and plant fibers, finely woven between silk filaments. It is covered with orange beige scales probably deposited by the adults during emergence.〔(Ecologically and Morphologically Remarkable New Cosmet Moth Species of the Genus Hyposmocoma (Lepidoptera: Cosmopterigidae) Endemic to the Hawaiian Islands, with Reference to the Spectacular Diversity of Larval Cases )〕 ==Etymology== The specific name is derived from the unusual and remarkable feeding habit of the caterpillars.
