About Cydia inquinatana (Hübner, 1796-1799)
Cydia inquinatana is a moth species belonging to the family Tortricidae. It can be found across most of Europe, with the exception of Ireland, the Iberian Peninsula, and the southern section of the Balkan Peninsula. It has recently been recorded in southeastern Great Britain, where it may be breeding. This species has a wingspan of 11–14 mm. Adult moths are active from May to June, and produce one new generation each year. The larvae of Cydia inquinatana feed on Acer campestre and Acer pseudoplatanus, and live within the seeds of their host plants.
