Distribution

Thurberiphaga diffusa can be found only in southern Arizona.[1]

This moth has one flight a year from July to September.[1]

The caterpillar bores into the stem of the host plant. It is a pinkish color and is covered with rough setae.[1]

Its only host plant is wild cotton (Gossypium thurberi).[2]

gollark: What?

gollark: It has to be```haskellf :: Int -> Int -> Int -> Intf x y z = x + y + z```or```haskellf :: (Int, Int, Int) -> Intf (x, y, z) = x + y + z```

gollark: You can't do```haskellf :: Int -> Int -> Int -> Intf (x, y, z) = x + y + z```

gollark: Because it has multiple comma-separated identifiers.

gollark: `Prelude` only has `fst` and on 1 element tuples.
