Adela fibulella Larva Germander Speedwell, Veronica chamaedrys November to December The larva feeds in a flat case on the leaves [Tutt] Aethes dilucidana Larva Wild Parsnip, Pastinaca sativa November to December Stems of the foodplant with conspicuous little nodules oof white frass, showing just above the lower nodes of the stem, will contain the larvae. Cut of the stems containing larvae into convenient lengths and place in damp sand. [Tutt] Aethes margaritana Larva Yarrow, Achillea millefolium January to mid March, November to December The larvae feed in a web among the seedheads in the autumn and winter. [Tutt] Aethes williana Larva Wild Carrot, Daucus carota January to March, October to December The larva feeds in the autumn and winter in the stems, eating out the pith and filling the space with frass, still feeding on the dead stems or working back through the frass as late as April and spinning a very slight brownish cocoon in the tightly packed mass of frass in the stem, the moth emerging in June. [Tutt] Amblyptilia acanthadactyla Pupa Hedge-woundwort, Stachys sylvatica October to November The pupae are to be found attached by the anal segment to the flower spikes, between two of the whorls of seed-vessels, where they look like dried-up flowers. [Tutt] Coleophora badiipennella Larva elms, Ulmus spp. January to early February, late November to December The cases may be found throughout the winter on the lower twigs of elm-trees and the upper twigs of elm-bushes. The particular elms may be noted and the larvae gathered in spring. [Tutt] Coleophora binderella Larva alders, Alnus spp. Corylus avellana September to December The cases are to be found on the foodplant; they are something the shape of the case of C. viminitella, but are much stouter and stumpier than the latter, and conspicuously of two colours. [Tutt] Coleophora lithargyrinella Larva Greater Stitchwort, Stellaria holostea September to December The cylindrical ochreous-brown cases are to be found on or near the foodplant. [Tutt] Coleophora maritimella Larva Sea-rush, Juncus maritimus January, late November to December During the winter months the cases are to be obtained from the seed-heads. The larvae form their cases in the seed capsules and are difficult to discover unless they are rubbed off the plant over paper, when those tenanted by larvae will be seen walking away (Moncreaff). [Tutt] Coleophora virgaureae Larva Goldenrod, Solidago virgaurea November The cases should be collected from the seed-heads. [Tutt] Cydia fagiglandana Larva Beech, Fagus sylvatica late September to November During the autumn collect beech mast for the larvae. [Tutt] Cydia strobilella Larva Norway Spruce, Picea abies Picea omorika late November to December The larva feeds in the cones, which should be collected in the winter. [Tutt] Euzophera cinerosella Larva Wormwood, Artemisia absinthium January to March, October to December The larvae feed during the winter and spring in the stems and root-stocks of the foodplant. [Tutt] Homoeosoma sinuella Larva plantains, Plantago spp. January to March, October to December During the winter months the larvae may be found feeding in the root-stocks of plantain. [Tutt] Limnaecia phragmitella Larva Lesser Bulrush, Typhus angustifolia Typhus latifolia January to May, September to December The larva feeds in the heads of bulrush from September to May, secreting itself in the woolly down, where it is about as easy to find as a needle in a bundle of hay; the down itself hangs out in the spring in large conspicuous masses. [Tutt] Metzneria lappella Larva Greater Burdock, Arctium lappa January to February, September to December Larvae can be obtained in the seed-heads of burdock. [Tutt] Myelois circumvoluta Larva Greater Burdock, Arctium lappa Cirsium eriophorum Cirsium vulgare Onopordium acanthium January to March, October to December During the winter months the dried stems of thistles should be collected for the larvae. [Tutt] Pammene albuginana Larva oaks, Quercus spp. January to February, late November to December The larva lives through the winter in a spongy oak gall fixed on the twigs of young oaks, preferring those of the preceding year's growth. The galls should be collected in the winter and spring. Pammene regiana Pupa Sycamore, Acer pseudoplatanus January to March, October to December The cocoons are to be obtained during the autumn and winter under the bark of old sycamore trees; the larva appears to remain in its cocoon unchanged until spring. [Tutt] Phalonidia manniana Larva Gipsywort, Lycopus europaeus Mentha aquatica mid September to December The larvae hibernate in the stems, pupate therein and emerge through a small hole in the side hidden by a thin layer of skin, all that the larvae has left at that point. The affected stems should be collected in the autumn months, kept out of doors during the winter, the adults emerge in June. [Tutt] Phyllonorycter spinicolella Larva Wild Plum, Prunus domestica Prunus spinosa January to February, September to December The larva mines on the underside of the leaves, including domestic varieties of the foodplant. [Tutt] Pima boisduvaliella Larva Kidney Vetch, Anthyllis vulneraria January to March, October to December During the winter the hibernating larvae are to be obtained in sandy localities, where the foodplant grows, in their sand-balls, by passing the sand through a sieve. [Tutt] Pristerognatha penthinana Larva Touch-me-not Balsam, Impatiens noli-tangere January to March, October to December From October to April, split the stems for the active whitish-green larva. When the stems can be detected without splitting them, do not do this, as it interferes with the hibernation of the larva. [Tutt] Thiotricha subocellea Larva Water-mint, Mentha aquatica Origanum vulgare September to November By collecting the seed-heads and keeping them exposed to the weather during the winter, the adults may be bred.
