I've Been Through the Vineyards with a Moth with No Name

Heard it through the grapevine
~Proverb, Song Lyric, Common Saying

An unnamed moth first discovered in Italy in 2006 has been eating it's way through the Chardonnay leaves in vineyards. It is not an unknown species, it is just one that has no name. It is quite common in North America (I've never seen one!) and is of the leafminer moth species.

Using already existing information, entomologists were able, by examining the moth's genetic code, to identify the type of insect it is, and to confirm that it is an unnamed moth. It is now being called Antispila oinophylla - not to be confused with Antispila ampelopsifoliella (a leafmining moth that feeds on Virginia Creeper). The taste this moth has for grape leaves is what distinguishes it from other moths. It exhibits a preference for Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Muscat grape leaves.

Abstract of the study:  Antispila oinophylla new species (Lepidoptera, Heliozelidae), a new North American grapevine leafminer invading Italian vineyards: taxonomy, DNA barcodes and life cycle

Note: Leafminers are a little studied species of moth.

Something else I learned: The phrase "through the grapevine" originated with the telegraph system invented by Samuel Morse. The system required  telegraph wire to be installed. The wires were held in place above the ground by poles placed at regular intervals. The wires and poles resembled the method used to train grape vines, thus the telegraph lines became known as "the grapevine."
