Coleophora otidipennella

(Hübner, 1817)578 / 37.072

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.

Local, but often common where found. On Field Wood Rush, often feeding on fallen seeds on the ground amongst the litter.

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 13 (32%) of 41 10k Squares.
First Recorded in 1834.
Last Recorded in 2022.
