Larva

The chestnut leafroller has an average wingspan between 13–17 mm. The forewing has a wide, slanted white cross-band that can be blurry in the foremost part. In newly hatched specimens, the white ribbon has a pink tinge, and the wing has bluish metallic spots and cross-bands, but this is less evident on worn specimens. Adults are on wing from June to July in western Europe.

The larvae feed on Castanea , Fagus and Quercus species. It is considered a serious pest on sweet chestnut ( Castanea sativa ). The larvae feed internally in the acorns or nuts of the host plant.
