Epinotia pygmaeana (Hübner, [1799]) | |
Epinotia pygmaeana, the pygmy needle tortricid, is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found across the Palearctic from northern and central Europe to eastern Russia.
The wingspan is 12–14 mm.The forewings are fuscous, whitish-sprinkled, costa spotted with dark fuscous ; basal patch with edge sharply angulated, and central fascia darker, space between them forming a subquadrate more whitish dorsal spot; ocellus large, broadly edged with leaden-metallic. Hindwings are white ; apical third fuscous, darker terminally.The larva is green ; spots black ; head and plate of 2 black. [1]
Adults are on wing from late March to early June.
The larvae feed on Picea abies , Picea excelsa , Picea sitchensis and Abies alba . The larvae mine and later spin the needles of their host, causing a decrease in growth.
The black arches or nun moth is a small Palaearctic moth. It is considered a forest pest.

Zeiraphera ratzeburgiana, the spruce bud moth or Ratzeburg tortricid, is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found from northern and central Europe to eastern Russia and China. Zeiraphera ratzeburgiana is a taxonomically similar species to Zeiraphera canadensis and can only be distinguished by an anal comb found in Z. canadensis.

Hedya pruniana, the plum tortrix, is a species of moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found in the Palearctic realm. In central Europe, it is a common species. In the east, the range extends through Anatolia and Iran, the Ural, Transcaucasia and western Kazakhstan to the Far East.
Epinotia tetraquetrana, the square-barred bell, is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found from most of Europe east to the Near East and the eastern part of the Palearctic realm.
Archips packardianus, the spring spruce needle moth or spruce needleworm, is a species of moth of the family Tortricidae. Spruce needle worms are commonly found in small numbers on spruce and trees of other coniferous genera throughout most of Canada and the northeastern US. Archips packardiana overwinters as a tiny larva in a mined needle. Needle mining is resumed in the spring, the larvae later moving to feed on new foliage, where they spin considerable webbing. Full-grown larvae have a pale green head, sometimes patterned with brown, and a pale body and pale thoracic legs, and are about 20 mm long. The larva pupates, usually in the webbed needles, and the adult emerges in summer to early fall. The closely related Archips strianus is much less common, but probably has a habitat similar to that of A. packardiana. The larvae have dark thoracic legs and small dark areas around the base of the thoracic hairs. The habitat consists of coniferous and mixed woods.
Argyrotaenia occultana, the fall spruce needle moth, is a moth of the family Tortricidae. The species was first described by Thomas Nesbitt Freeman in 1942. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from British Columbia north to Yukon and Northwest Territories, east to Newfoundland and south to Kentucky and Oregon. The habitat consists of spruce forests.
Epinotia nemorivaga, the bearberry bell, is a species of moth in the family Tortricidae. It is found in Europe and Asia.
