294 Aspilapteryx tringipennella

(Zeller, 1839)

Wingspan 10-13 mm.

A close relative of the genus Caloptilia, this species rests in a similar manner, with the forepart of the body raised on the front legs.

There are two generations in the year, the adults being on the wing in May and again in August. The second generation overwinters as a larva.
