Adaina bipunctatus is a moth of the family Pterophoridae.[1][2] It is found in the United States (including Florida[1][3] and Mississippi[1][4]), the Caribbean (Trinidad,[5] Bahamas, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands,[2][6] Guadeloupe[2]) and South America (Brazil and Ecuador).[2][6]
The wingspan is 9–11.5 mm. Adults are entirely pale yellowish white, although the head is touched with pale brownish above and on the front. The forewings have a few brown scales and several brown spots. The fringes are slightly tinged with grey, as are the hindwings and their fringes.[7]
Adults are on wing from January to May, August and December;[6] in Florida they have been recorded from the end of March to the end of June and again from mid-August to mid-December.[3]
The larvae feed on Conoclinium coelestinum, Carphephorus paniculatus, Carphephorus odoratissimus, Pluchea rosea, Eupatorium cannabinum,[3] and many others.[2]
