Coleophora gryphipennella (Hübner, 1796)

rose case-bearer

Rosa pimpinellifolia, Duin en Kruidberg

mine

The larvae, that hatch around the end of August make three cases during their lifetime. The final one, which they occupy after the hibernation, is a laterally flattened tubular leaf case with a dorsal toothed keel (remnant of the leaf margin from which the cases was excised). Mouth angle about 60°.

host plants

Rosaceae, oligophagous

Fragaria vesca; Rosa acicularis, arkansana, canina, glauca, pendulina, rubiginosa, serafinii, soulieana, spinosissima, tomentosa.

In the Netherlands R. spinosissima is the most important host plant. Hering (1957a) and Maček (1999a) additionally mention Rubus caesius and corylifolius as occasional host plants. That the species is able to complete its full development also on strawberry has been documented by van Roosmalen & Doorenweerd for the the Dutch dunes and southern Belgium.
