Wockia
Wockia is a genus of moths in the family Urodidae containing around 10 described species. Individuals are small and relatively dull gray in color.
Larvae (caterpillars) are known to feed on plants in the family Salicaceae, with W. asperipunctella feeding on species of willows (Salix) and Populus, while W. chewbacca feeds on the leaves of the Casearia, albeit it avoids the veins to prevent any indigestion.
