Distribution
[edit]This species can be found from Ireland and Great Britain, east through the Benelux, Fennoscandia and central and south-eastern Europe to Siberia and Sakhalin to the Kuriles. It is also found in China (Heilongjiang, Inner Mongolia, Jilin, Sichuan, Shandong) and Taiwan.[1][3]
Habitat
[edit]These rather common moths mainly inhabit in woodlands, in open scrubs and in deciduous forests.[4]
Description
[edit]The wingspan of Capua vulgana can reach 13–19 mm. These broad-winged Tortrix moths have a buff-coloured head and pale brown forewings with dark brown markings. Males are more well-marked than the females.[4]
Biology
[edit]It is a univoltine species. Adults are on wing from May to June and can be found flying at dusk. The larvae feed on the leaves of a wide range of woodland trees and plants, including alder (Alnus glutinosa), hazel (Corylus avellana), rowan (Sorbus aucuparia), pedunculate oak (Quercus robur) and bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus).[4][5][6]
