Coleophora peri Scientific classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Arthropoda Class: Insecta Order: Lepidoptera Family: Coleophoridae Genus: Coleophora Species: C. peri Binomial name Coleophora peri
Svensson, 1976[1]Coleophora peri is a moth of the Coleophoridae family. It is found in Sweden.
The wingspan is 12-14 mm. Adults are on wing from the end of June to July.[2]
The larvae feed on Potentilla fruticosa. They first create a hairy, spatulate leaf case of about 7 mm. The mouth angle is about 30°. In spring, they bore into a developing bud, perforating the base of the scales, and eat them out. Later, they start mining again.[3] Larvae can be found from autumn to June.
