Brypoctia ramosa is a moth species in the Cossidae family. Members of this family are known for their stout bodies, cryptic coloration, and larvae that bore into wood or plant stems. The body is thick and sturdy, adapted for a life cycle involving boring larvae. Larvae bore into the stems, trunks, or roots of host plants, feeding internally and creating tunnels.
