Forms of A. abietana, A. hastiana and related species

The wingspan is 21–25 mm. Very similar to forms of Acleris hastiana but the forewing has more pronounced scale-tufts. Certain identification requires genitalia dissection. Julius von Kennel gives a full description. [4]

Adults are on wing in one generation from August to late October and, after hibernation, from mid-March to May. [5]

The larvae feed on Abies alba , Pinus and Picea species (including Picea excelsa and Picea abies ). They live in a loose spinning between the needles of their host plant. Larvae can be found from June to July.
