Hedya pruniana is a butterfly ( moth ) from the family of Winder (Tortricidae). The species is occasionally referred to as "plum moth" or "plum bud moth", whereby the name "plum moth" is also used for the grapholita funebrana .
features
The moths reach a wingspan of 15 to 19 millimeters. The color of the forewings is variable: the distal part is often dark gray with a grayish base color. Sex dimorphism is not pronounced. Hedya pruniana can be distinguished from the very similar species Hedya nubiferana by the location of two black dots. In nubiferana, these are located above the protrusion formed by the dark mark in the middle of the fore wing. At pruniana they can be found next to the ledge.
distribution
Hedya pruniana is native to the Palearctic . The species is widespread and common in Central Europe . In the east, the distribution area extends over Asia Minor to Iran and across the Urals , Transcaucasia and western Kazakhstan to the Far East . The species colonizes forest edges and clearings, shrubbery as well as orchards and parks.
biology
The caterpillars develop from July / August to April / May of the following year between shoots and spun leaves of the forage plant, they overwinter. The caterpillars live polyphagously on blackthorn ( Prunus spinosa ), hawthorn ( Crataegus ), roses ( Rosa ), whitebeams ( Sorbus ), common hazel ( Corylus avellana ) and fruit trees, where they often cause damage. The moths can be observed from May to August.
