Coleophora adspersella

Wikipedia Abstract

Coleophora adspersella is a moth of the Coleophoridae family. It is found in most of Europe, except the Iberian Peninsula, Switzerland and Slovenia. It is also found in China. It occurs in forest and forest steppe biotopes, and in anthropogenic landscapes where the food plant occurs. The wingspan is 13–16 mm. Adults have pale forewings with darker specks arranged between the veins, giving a faint striated appearance. They are on wing from June to August. The larvae feed on Atriplex and Chenopodium species. They feed on the seeds and later form a ribbed case in which they hibernate.
