Summary description from Wikipedia:
Amydria anceps
Amydria anceps is a moth of the family Acrolophidae. It is found in Mexico.
It is unusual in that its caterpillars actually eat the discarded fungus culture grown by leaf-cutter ants, Atta mexicana; this moth is always (obligately) associated as a harmless guest on the nests of this ant species.
