In-Depth Information
formed either on the foodplant or amongst debris on the
ground. The adult moths appear in July and August.
LIFE HISTORY
Larvae feed on honeysuckle during May and June, each
sheltering in a rolled leaf. They are extremely active if
disturbed, and wriggle violently backwards out of their
habitation and drop to the ground. When fully fed, the
larvae pupate in light brown, boat-shaped cocoons
DAMAGE
Larvae cause loss of leaf tissue and slight distortion of
new growth but damage is not important.
