695 Agonopterix alstromeriana

(Clerck, 1759)

Wingspan 17-19 mm.

One of the more colourful of the Depressariinae, this species is reasonably common over most of the British Isles.

It can be found on the wing between August and April, and is quite easily attracted by light.

The larvae feed on the flowers and leaves of hemlock (Conium maculatum) between May and July.
