  1. tortrix

    Tortrix is a large genus of moths in the family Tortricidae. This term is also used to refer more broadly to any moth in the Tortricidae family, which are typically small in size and known for their bell-shaped posture when at rest. Their larvae are considered pests in many parts of the world as they are known to damage crops and other plant life by rolling up the leaves, from which the family name 'Tortricidae' (from Latin "tortus" meaning twisted) is derived.
