Coleophora milvipennis
Coleophora milvipennis is a moth of the family Coleophoridae. It is found in all of Europe, east to Japan (Hokkaido).[2]    The wingspan is 10–13 mm.[3] It was previously thought to be the birch-feeding form of Coleophora limosipennella until the 1970s, when it was separated as a separate species. Adult moths have buff forewings with a whitish stripe along the costa.It is impossible to identify without microscopic examination of the genitalia.[4] Adults are on wing in one generation per year from late June to July.[5] The larvae feed on Alnus glutinosa, Alnus incana, Alnus viridis, Betula nana, Betula pubescens, Carpinus betulus, Corylus avellana and Myrica gale.[6] Larvae can be found almost year-round.
