[Tutt] Blomer's Rivulet Larva Wych Elm, Ulmus glabra September The larvae are to be beaten from the foodplant and is said to prefer the underside of the leaves, if searching is preferred to beating [Tutt] Clay Triple-lines Pupa Beech, Fagus sylvatica September The pupa is fastened to a leaf, the margin of the leaf often curling over and concealing the pupa.

If not within this tent, it may usually be found on the upperside of some neighbouring leaf. [Tutt] Scalloped Hazel Pupa September The pupae are frequently found nder moss on trees of various kinds. [Tutt] Scalloped Hook-tip Larva birches, Betula spp. September The larva are to be found between united birch leaves searching by day or by beating by night.

[Tutt] Acrolepia autumnitella Larva Bittersweet, Solanum dulcamara June, September The full-fed larvae are to be obtained in September (and also June), in mines that make conspicuous greenish-white blotches in the leaves. [Tutt] Adaina microdactyla Larva Hemp-agrimony, Eupatorium cannabinum September to October The autumnal and winter larvae feed in the stems directly below the flower-bearing pedicels. Many of the affected plants can be at once distinguished from the dwarfing of the central head of blossoms, caused by the attack of the larva on the terminal portion of the stem being made when it was very tender, so that the side-bunches over-reach it; when the stem is attacked lower down, where it is harder, the blossom is not affected (Bignell). [Tutt] Aethes rubigana Larva Greater Burdock, Arctium lappa September The seed-heads of burdock should be collected in September for the larvae, which pupate among rubbish at the roots of the plant. [Tutt] Altenia scriptella Larva Field Maple, Acer campestre August to early September The larvae fold the leaves of maple in August and early September. [Tutt] Anania verbascalis Larva Wood-sage, Teucrium scorodonia August to September In August and September the foodplant should be well shaken (or beaten) for the larvae. The larva should be given sand in which to pupate. [Tutt] Ancylis mitterbacheriana Larva Beech, Fagus sylvatica Quercus spp. September to October The larvae feed in the folded leaves of oak and beech in the autumn, pupating therein in spring (Thurnall). [Tutt] Ancylis unculana Larva Alder Buckthorn, Frangula alnus September The larvae are easily detected on buckthorn in September by the leaves being folded over and fastened together for the whole extent of the leaf. [Tutt] Ancylis upupana Larva birches, Betula spp. September The larvae occur on birch during September. [Tutt] Carpatolechia notatella Larva sallows and willows, Salix spp. early September In early September the blotched appearance of the leaves of sallows betokens the presence of the larva. [Tutt] Chrysoesthia drurella Larva goosefoots, Chenopodium spp. early September The not-so conspicuous mines are to be found in the leaves in early September [Tutt] Chrysoesthia sexguttella Larva goosefoots, Chenopodium spp. early September In early September the conspicuous white mines made by the larvae are to be seen in the leaves. Cochylimorpha straminea Larva Common Knapweed, Centaurea nigra July, September The larvae feed in July and again in September at the base of the flower-heads, eating the young seeds, and lying curved in the cavity formed, or (if disturbed) retreating into the stem (Barrett) [Tutt] Cochylis hybridella Larva Hawkweed Oxtongue, Picis hieracioides August to September During August (sometimes as late as September) the seed-heads should be collected for larvae (Barrett). [Tutt] Coleophora adjunctella Larva Saltmarsh Rush, Juncus gerardii August to September The cases are to be found during August and September, in salt-marshes, on the seed-heads [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.
