Coleophora
lutipennella (Zeller,
1838)  |
| Status
.....Very common at Eakring and other
sites visited. The larval case of Coleophora lutipennella is
very similar to that of Coleophora flavipennella, but easily
told apart if found as a young case over the Winter months, as the case
of C. lutipennella overwinters fixed in the axil of a bud (as
shown below) while that of C. flavipennella overwinters at the
joint of two twigs. The larva starts feeding again around mid-April,
making a new case within a day or two following overwintering. |
