Description


The wingspan is 12–15 mm. This moth has a characteristic wing pattern, with a pale brown ground colour and dark brown markings of the forewings, resembling a cross (hence the Latin name cruciana of the species).[3]

Adults are on wing from June to early August.[3]

The larvae feed on various sallows and willows, mainly Salix repens, on which the larva spins together the leaves of a terminal shoot and feeds within.[3]


Distribution


This species can be found from Europe to Japan and in North America.[4]
