The currant shoot borer moth (Lampronia capitella) is a species of moth of the family Prodoxidae. It is found in most of central, northern and eastern Europe. [1] It is also found in North America. [2]
The wingspan is 14–17 mm. Adults have chocolate-brown wings with creamy markings and a yellowish-orange head tuft. [3] They are on wing from May to mid-July.
The larvae feed on the young green fruit of Ribes rubrum , Ribes uva-crispa and Ribes nigrum . Larvae can be found from August to September. The species then overwinters in the larval stage near the roots of the host plant. In spring, the larvae bore in the young new buds of their host plant. [4]
The Prodoxidae are a family of moths, generally small in size and nondescript in appearance. They include species of moderate pest status, such as the currant shoot borer, and others of considerable ecological and evolutionary interest, such as various species of "yucca moths".
Notodontidae is a family of moths with approximately 3,800 known species. The family was described by James Francis Stephens in 1829. Moths of this family are found in all parts of the world, but they are most concentrated in tropical areas, especially in the New World.
The buff-tip is a moth of the family Notodontidae. It is found throughout Europe and in Asia to eastern Siberia. The species was first described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae.
Manduca quinquemaculata, the five-spotted hawkmoth, is a brown and gray hawk moth of the family Sphingidae. The caterpillar, often referred to as the tomato hornworm, can be a major pest in gardens; they get their name from a dark projection on their posterior end and their use of tomatoes as host plants. Tomato hornworms are closely related to the tobacco hornworm Manduca sexta. This confusion arises because caterpillars of both species have similar morphologies and feed on the foliage of various plants from the family Solanaceae, so either species can be found on tobacco or tomato leaves. Because of this, the plant on which the caterpillar is found does not indicate its species.
Lampronia standfussiella is a moth of the family Prodoxidae. It is found in central Europe, including the Alps, Germany, Austria and Poland, north to Finland and Sweden and northern Russia.
Lampronia corticella, the raspberry moth, is a moth of the family Prodoxidae. The species was first described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae.

It is an introduced species in North America, where it was first detected in New Brunswick, Canada, in 1936.
