What is an "etiella"?
An etiella is a small moth belonging to the family Pyralidae. It is a major pest of legume crops, particularly cowpea, soybean, and pigeon pea. The adult moths are brown in color and have a wingspan of about 15-20 millimeters. The larvae of Etiella bore into the pods and seeds of the host plants, causing extensive damage. They feed on the developing seeds, resulting in reduced yield and quality of the crop. Etiella has a rapid life cycle and can complete multiple generations in a year, making it a challenging pest to manage.
