Epinotia subocellana is a species of moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found in Asia and Europe and was first described by Edward Donovan in 1806.

Life cycle

The male and female moths are similar with a wingspan of 10–14 mm.[2] They fly from May to July at dusk and come to light.[3] .

Ovum

Eggs are laid on rough-leaved willows (Salix species).[4]

Larva

Larvae have a yellowish or greenish-white body and a yellowish-brown head. The prothoracic and anal plates are pale yellow. They live in a sandwich of two leaves spun together, feeding on the underside of the upper leaf, from August to October. Foodplants include eared willow (S. aurita), grey willow (S. cinerea) and goat willow (S. caprea).[4]

Pupa

When fully fed the larva descends to the ground and overwinters in a cocoon. The pupa forms in April or May, is yellowish-brown and can be found in detiritus.[2][4]

Distribution

Found from western, northern and central Europe through to eastern Russia.[4]
