The pink-washed aristotelia, clover aristotelia moth or garden webworm (Aristotelia roseosuffusella) is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It is found in North America, including Alabama, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Ontario, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.[1]
The wingspan is about 11 mm.[2] The forewings are dark brown, ocherous along the inner margin, where it is suffused with roseate. At the base of the wing is a white spot containing a dark brown dot, and near the base an oblique white band. About the middle of the wing is a large white spot or indistinct broad band, irrorated (speckled) with dark brownish and tinted with roseate on the inner margin. Near the tip is a costal white spot and a roseate spot opposite on the inner margin, and a whitish spot at the tip. The hindwings are dark fuscous-gray, cilia fuscous.[3]
The larvae feed on clover. They fold the leaves of their host plant.[4]
