01Narrative

Amorbia cuneanum, the western avocado leafroller moth, is a species of moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found from Baja California, Mexico, to south-western Canada. To the east, the range extends to Arizona and Idaho in the United States. The length of the forewings is 11.5–13 mm for males and 12–14.5 mm for females. The ground colour of the forewings is straw yellow, with an oblique darker mark. The hindwings are beige with a darker patch at the apex. Adults are on wing year round in two generations per year. The larvae feed on Abies concolor, Rhus laurina, Arctostaphylos insularis, Arcotostaphylos patula, Persea americana, Laurus species, Ceanothus arboreus, Heteromeles arbutifolia, Lyonothamnus floribundus, Prunus species (including Prunus lyonii), Citrus species and Salix species. Full-grown larvae reach a length of about 25 mm. 2007 Phylogenetic relationships, systematics, and biology of the species of Amorbia Clemens (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae: Sparganothini).

05DNA & barcoding73 eDNA hits

A DNA barcode is a short, standardised stretch of genes that works like a fingerprint — enough to tell one species from another. Below is the molecular trace Amorbia cuneanum has left across the world's sequence archives.

Where the DNA of Amorbia cuneanum was picked up in samples of water, soil or air — nobody saw the organism, only its DNA left behind. A trace is a clue that the species was near, not a confirmed sighting.

How to read this: each dot is one detection of this species' DNA in an environmental sample. The confidence meter weighs how many independent studies and places back up the signal — one detection in one study is a hint; many across several studies is solid. Records dated before 2008 (when eDNA methods began) are treated as likely mislabeled and left off the map.
