Homoeolabus analis
gardens, shrubs, trees
Pictures 2 and 3 shows it doing what it's named for. I think it's ready for a job at Chipotle making burritos.
Fascinating! Thanks for the link.
I didn't know, but I looked it up :) ... They lay their egg (sometimes eggs) in it and the larva develops inside. There is an article describing the whole process in more detail here: http://entnemdept.ufl.edu/creatures/misc...
Do you know why they roll the leaves like that? Are they laying eggs inside? Hiding from predators?
