features
Notocelia cynosbatella has a wingspan of 16–22 mm. The front wings have a blue-gray-brown basic color. The forewings are darkly patterned in the basal third and on the outer wing tips. There is also a pale spot on the outer rear edge of the wing. When seated, the rear half of the butterflies appear almost completely white with the exception of the rear edge of the wing. The yellow labial palps are a distinguishing feature from similar curlers .
distribution
Notocelia cynosbatella is native to the Palearctic . The species is found in much of Europe, including the British Isles . In the east, the occurrence extends over Asia Minor to the Middle East (Iran) and via Central Asia (Kazakhstan) to China and Mongolia. The species is quite common in Central Europe.
Way of life
The typical habitat of the species are hedge biotopes, forests and gardens. The host plants of Notocelia cynosbatella are primarily roses ( Rosa ). The species forms one generation per year. The butterflies fly between late April and late July, mainly at dusk and at night. The caterpillars feed on the flower buds and young shoots or between two leaves that are spun together. In addition to roses, plants of the genera Rubus (including blackberries and raspberries), Pyrus (pears), Malus (apples), Prunus , Cydonia (quince), Myrica , Carpinus (hornbeams) and Quercus (oaks) are used as caterpillars.
The caterpillars of Notocelia cynosbatella can cause damage to rose plantings by feeding on the flower buds.
