case and adult<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

case<\/h3>\n

The young larva feeds on the developing seeds and hibernates in its first case which is made of the tip of a petal. After hibernation it makes a hoary, laterally flattened composite leaf case (resembling, says Hering, a willow catkin). Fleck mines are made at the margin of the leaves, that thereby look peculiarly damaged (van Breemen, 1983a; Emmet ao, 1996a). Mouth angle 70\u00b0.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

host plants<\/h3>\n

Boraginaceae, oligophagous (?)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Anchusa<\/a> officinalis; Cynoglossum<\/a> officinale; Echium<\/a> gaditanum, italicum, vulgare; Lithospermum<\/a> officinale; Myosotis<\/a>; Nonea<\/a> pulla; Onosma<\/a>; Pentaglottis<\/a>; Pulmonaria<\/a> officinalis; Symphytum<\/a> officinale.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Apart from the Boraginaceae listed above, several more genera are mentioned in the literature: Asteraceae: Hieracium<\/a><\/em>; Lamiaceae: Lycopus<\/a>, Nepeta<\/a>, Origanum<\/a>, Stachys<\/a><\/em> officinalis; Scrophulariaceae: Verbascum<\/a><\/em>. If indeed the larva has built its case out of leaf material from these plants, the hairynes and general aspect of the case will vary strongly.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

phenology<\/h3>\n

Larvae are full grown in mid May – early June (Emmet ao, 1996a).<\/p>\n
