About Acleris maccana (Treitschke, 1835)
Acleris maccana, commonly known as the marbled dog's-tooth tortrix, is a species of moth belonging to the family Tortricidae. This species was first described by Georg Friedrich Treitschke in 1835. Its distribution ranges from Europe, extending east across boreal regions all the way to Siberia. The wingspan of adult Acleris maccana measures between 19 and 25 mm. Adults of this species are active in flight during late fall, and then again in early spring. The species produces one generation per year. The larvae of Acleris maccana feed on a variety of deciduous trees and shrubs. These include species from the genera Myrica (specifically Myrica gale), Vaccinium (specifically Vaccinium myrtillus and Vaccinium uliginosum), Rhododendron, Malus, Betula, Salix, and Populus.
