• The immature stages were collected from infested bulbils and capsules of Furcraea plants and reared under laboratory conditions (17 °C and 65% relative humidity) until adults emerge. MATERIAL AND METHODS In the ex situ biological collection of Fique and related species (Furcraea cabuya Trel, Furcraea foetida (L.) Haw, Agave sisalana Perrine, Furcraea spp. and Agave spp.), stablished in the Research Center La Selva of AGROSAVIA, in the Municipality of Rionegro Antioquia, Colombia (6°07'46"N; -75°24'55" W; 2,100 masl), we found some unidentified Pyralidae larvae feeding on the reproductive structures of the plants. The head capsule is pale brown; the body of the larva is light yellow and turns darker while the larva feeds; in later instars, the body coloration pattern becomes dark brown, with pale brown lateral bands on the pleura and the notum (Figure 1D). [...]additional work is required to determine its impact in the system and the requirement of the establishment of integrated management programs.
