Cydia fagiglandana

Wingspan 13 to 19 mm. Similar to C. splendana, but with rather less contrast between light and dark.

The preferred habitat is beech woodland.

Flying in June and July.

The larvae feed internally on beech nuts.

The species is fairly common in much of England and Wales, and also occurs in southern Scotland and Ireland. In the Butterfly Conservation's Microlepidoptera Report 2011 this species was classified as common.

It appears to be uncommon in Leicestershire and Rutland, where there are few records. L&R Moth Group status = D (rare or rarely recorded).
