Capparis spinosa L. is a perennial xerophytic plant that, due to its high tolerance to environmental stresses, plays an important role in maintaining ecological balance and preventing soil erosion. It also has special economic and environmental importance as a food source for herbivorous insects. The Crambidae is one of the largest families of Lepidoptera, with numerous reported species from Iran. Thyridiphora furia (Swinhoe) has been previously reported from Iran, but its occurrence and its association with the host plant, C. spinosa, have not been documented in North Khorasan Province yet. In August 2025, during field surveys of natural C. spinosa habitats in Hasseh Gah, North Khorasan Province, infected fruits were collected by direct observation and transported to the laboratory. Examination of these fruits revealed the presence of the larvae and pupae of a Lepidoptera species. The specimens were reared under laboratory conditions until adults emerged and were identified. This study represents the first report of T. furia in natural habitats of C. spinosa in North Khorasan Province and emphasizes the necessity of investigating the biodiversity and life cycle of insects associated with host plants and the importance of ecological management of species associated with valuable plants.
