Stem-boring moth, yucca - Prodoxus
Decorah, Winneshiek County, Iowa, USA
June 21, 2017
This is the same stem piece as the one that's shown in the first image in the series. Here, it's shown on June 21, after all moths had emerged. I've split it open lengthwise in order to provide a look at what the larvae did inside the stem.
