Cacopsylla feed on leaf juice at fruit trees. They can transmit plant diseases (bacterially and virally) by puncturing the leaves and sucking from them. Seen from above the compound eyes, antennae, the three ocellae (single eyes), and the characteristic pattern can be clearly made out on head and front.
The wings of the moth are covered with fine scales which come off easily when being touched. It can be clearly seen that the scales are fixed by peduncles in the dents (deepenings) of the wing area. The silk moths that are bred for the silk production are flightless moths.
