Description

The wingspan is 11–16 mm. It is an easily recognizable species, although its appearance may vary. The wings have a black mingled with dark brown ground colour. Along the dorsal edge there is a slightly more reddish-brown narrow ribbon. In the middle of each wing there is a wide white cross-band.

Adults are on wing in June and July and can be disturbed, although they quickly return to cover. Males fly in the afternoon sunshine, while the females fly after dark. [1] [2]

Life cycle

The larvae feed on various herbaceous plants, folding over a leaf and feeding within. Foodplants include bugle ( Ajuga species), Anemone , columbine ( Aquilegia vulgaris ), golden saxifrage ( Chrysosplenium species), celandine ( Ficaria verna ), yellow archangel ( Lamium galeobdolon ), dog's mercury (Mercurialis perennis) and bilberry ( Vaccinium myrtillus ). [3] Pupa can be found in June, in the larval habitation or on the ground in a cocoon. [2]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Tortricidae</span> Family of tortrix moths

The Tortricidae are a family of moths, commonly known as tortrix moths or leafroller moths, in the order Lepidoptera. This large family has over 11,000 species described, and is the sole member of the superfamily Tortricoidea, although the genus Heliocosma is sometimes placed within this superfamily. Many of these are economically important pests. Olethreutidae is a junior synonym. The typical resting posture is with the wings folded back, producing a rather rounded profile.
