Papaipema eryngii, the rattlesnake-master borer, is a species of cutworm or dart moth in the family Noctuidae. It is found in North America. It bores into the rattlesnake master, Eryngium yuccifolium, at the stalk, inverts and develops, killing the plant in the process.[1] In order to mature, the moth needs a mature rattlesnake master or multiple young stalks.[2][3][4][5]
