A genus of small moths whose caterpillars are leaf rollers, found primarily in North America.
New Latin genus name, likely derived from or inspired by 'data' in an arbitrary way—a naming convention in entomology. Established in the 1800s by moth taxonomists.
Datana moths have caterpillars that roll up leaves to hide and feed inside—a strategy so effective that farmers sometimes try to mimic it for crop protection.
