Wikipedia Abstract

Prochoreutis myllerana, Miller’s nettle-tap, is a moth of the Choreutidae family. It is found in most of Europe, east into Russia. It is also known from China (Heilongjiang, Xinjiang), Korea and Japan (Hokkaido). The wingspan is 10–14 mm. Adults are on wing from May to early September. There are probably three generations per year. The larvae feed on Scutellaria galericulata and Scutellaria minor. The young larvae mine the lower leaves of their host plant. Older larvae live free among spun leaves. There are also records on Lamium album and Lamium purpureum, but these need confirmation.
