Coleophora lixella

Zeller, 1849530 / 37.061

General comments:
All of the Coleophora species in our area are under-recorded; naming most requires either finding the larvae or dissecting the genitalia of the adults (or both!). For this reason, notes made here are deliberately short, but will be updated on a species by species basis as information surfaces.

Extremely local, evidently preferring calcareous ground. On Wild Thyme. Should be looked for in the area along the Hertfordshire border with Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire.

Retained Specimen / Photograph will be Required.

Case: A good quality photo or specimen of the case and plant/pabulum and the bred moth is required.

Recorded in 5 (12%) of 41 10k Squares.
First Recorded in 1890.
Last Recorded in 2018.
