Moved
Moved from Gracillariinae.

I convinced myself. Although most hosts of L. venustella are in the tribe Eupatorieae, it has been reared from Rudbeckia, which like Ambrosia is in Heliantheae. It still would be great to get adults to confirm this though.

Moved
Moved from Cremastobombycia ambrosiaeella.

This is something weird--you may have found a new host record for Leucospilapteryx venustella; it would definitely be worth trying again to rear these.
