Coleophora salinella

Wikipedia Abstract

Coleophora salinella is a moth of the Coleophoridae family. It is found from Great Britain to Ukraine, south to the Iberian Peninsula, Sicily and Cyprus. The wingspan is 8.5–13 mm. The larvae feed on Atriplex littoralis, Atriplex patula, Atriplex prostrata and Halimione portulacoides. Full-grown larvae live in an almost smooth, greyish-brown, trivalved, tubular silken case of about 6 mm. The case has a mouth angle of 30-45°. Larvae can be found from September to October, then they hibernate and pupate in June or July.
