Capua vulgana

This species can be found from Ireland and Great Britain, east through the Benelux, Fennoscandia and central and south-eastern Europe to Siberia and Sakhalin to the Kuriles. It is also found in China (Heilongjiang, Inner Mongolia, Jilin, Sichuan, Shandong) and Taiwan.[3][4]

These rather common moths mainly inhabit in woodlands, in open scrubs and in deciduous forests.[5]

The wingspan of Capua vulgana can reach 13–19 mm.[5] These broad-winged Tortrix moths have a buff-coloured head and pale brown forewings with dark brown markings. Males are more well-marked than the females.[5]

It is a univoltine species. Adults are on wing from May to June. The larvae feed on the leaves of a wide range of woodland trees and plants, including Alnus glutinosa, Corylus avellana, Sorbus aucuparia, Quercus robur and Vaccinium myrtillus .[5][6][7]
