Arctostaphylos species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Coleophora arctostaphyli (which feeds exclusively on A. uva-ursi) and Coleophora glaucella.
The larvae feed on the foliage and flowers of various flowering trees and shrubs, including Holodiscus discolor, Ceanothus velutinus, Arctostaphylos and Quercus species.
