The Grape Leaffolder Moth has a wingspan of approximately 1 inch.  The larvae are known to fold or roll the leaves of grape species into a feeding shelter.  Larvae spend the winter in leaf debris.  Adults emerge in spring shortly after the appearance of grape foilage.  The adult is also known as the Pyralid Moth.
