Leaf folder :- The female of this insect lays eggs in groups near the veins of the leaves of paddy. The larvae come out from these eggs in 6-8 days. These larvae first eat soft leaves and later, by making silky thread with their saliva, twist the leaf from the edges and eat it by scraping it inside. The outbreak of this pest is more in the month of August-September. Paddy leaves appear white and scorched in the affected field.
