Wikipedia Abstract

Eucosma aspidiscana, the golden-rod bell, is a species of moth of the Tortricidae family. It is found in China (Anhui, Henan, Shaanxi, Gansu), Mongolia, Korea, Japan, Russia, North Africa and most of Europe. The habitat consists of woodlands, downland, waste grounds and cliffs. The wingspan is 13–20 mm. Adults are on wing from the end of April to June. The larvae feed on Solidago, Crinitaria and Aster species. Young larvae feed on the flower heads of their host plant. Later, they bore into the stem causing a gall to form. Larvae can be found from August to April.
