Coleophora follicularis is a moth of the family Coleophoridae. The species was first described in 1802 by Jean Nicolas Vallot, a French entomologist. It is found in all of Europe. It is very similar to Coleophora trochilella and microscopic examination of the genitalia is required to separate the two. [2]

Adults are on wing from June to August.

The larvae feed on Asteraceae species, including Achillea clavenae , Achillea millefolium , Achillea moschata , Anthemis , Carduus , Chrysanthemum leucanthemum , Cirsium arvense , Eupatorium cannabinum , Inula britannica , Inula conyza , Inula helenium , Pulicaria dysenterica and Tanacetum species. They create a slender tubular silken case of about 10 mm long. It is straw coloured and three valved. The mouth angle is about 30°. [3]
