Achyra rantalis, the garden webworm, is a moth of the family Crambidae described by Achille Guenée in 1854. It is found in North America,[1] where it has been recorded from Maine to southern Quebec and Ontario, south to Florida and Mexico. It has also been recorded from Iowa, Colorado, California and the West Indies.[2] Its habitat consists of fields and gardens.[3]

The wingspan is 17–23 millimetres (0.67–0.91 in). There may be up to four generations per year in the south.[3]
The larvae feed on the leaves of various low-growing plants, including alfalfa, beans, clover, corn, cotton, peas and strawberries.[4][3]
