Coleophora adspersella

Benander, 1939567 / 37.104

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.

Widespread, but local. On Orache (Atriplex spp.) and Sea Purslane (Halimione portulacoides). Perhaps a new arrival here. Noted first at Barnet in 2007 and then remaining reports are all from 2018 onwards.

Determination by Genitalia Examination Required

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

Recorded in 7 (17%) of 41 10k Squares.
First Recorded in 2007.
Last Recorded in 2024.
