Polyphemus moth

The Polyphemus moth was a species of moth native to North America on Earth. Its caterpillars were known to devour entire crops, leaving farmers with nothing.

During the Multilateral DMA Strategy Assembly in 3190, Captain Michael Burnham noted that the destruction wreaked by the Dark Matter Anomaly may not have necessarily reflected malice, just as neither the depredations of Tartan voles on Denobulan blood worms nor Polyphemus moth caterpillars on crops indicated intent.

In the real world, the Polyphemus moth is not an agricultural pest.
