While conducting a population ecological study of a distinctive epiphytic bromeliad, we witnessed a substantial amount of folivory in some populations on Andros, Bahamas. Finding two caterpillars on damaged plants, we reared a species of moth previously recorded only from Cuba. We report here on the damage to Catopsis berteroniana plants by larvae of Dahana cubana, and conclude from our data that both plant size and location (site) influence the amount of damage that plants experienced.
