Epiblema foenella, the white-foot bell, is a moth of the family Tortricidae.
The wingspan is 17–26 mm. This quite-common moth has dark brown forewings with a striking falcate medio-dorsal white marking and a gray-colored area at the ends of the wings. The shape of the white marking is quite variable.
This species has one generation and the mature caterpillars overwinter. The larvae feed on the roots and lower stem of mugwort or common wormwood ( Artemisia vulgaris ), of southernwood ( Artemisia abrotanum ) and of golden marguerite ( Anthemis tinctoria ). The moth flies from May to August depending on the location. They usually fly from late afternoon into the evening. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

The white-foot bell prefers rough uncultivated ground, grassland, scrub, river banks and coastal cliffs. [5] [9]
