Coleophora ibipennella is a moth of the case-bearer family (Coleophoridae). It is found in Europe from central Scandinavia southwards, as well as in North Africa and in the Near East to Lebanon. The caterpillars feed on birches (Betula) and oaks (Quercus). The full grown larva lives in a black pistol case of about 7 mm long. The mouth angle is about 80°. From the rear end a grey silken cloak hangs down to almost halfway the mouth.
