Epinotia nemorivaga, the bearberry bell, is a species of moth in the Tortricidae family. It is found in Europe (from Fennoscandia and northern Russia to the Iberian Peninsula and Italy, and from Ireland to Poland)[2] and Asia (China: Henan, Sichuan, Guizhou, Shaanxi).[3]
The wingspan is 10–12 mm.[4] Adults are on wing in June and July in western Europe.[5]
The larvae feed on Arctostaphylos alpinus and Arctostaphylos uva-ursi. The larvae mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine starts as a corridor. Later, the larva leaves the corridor and starts making a large full-depth blotch. The larva leaves the blotch and moves to a new leaf, connecting both leaves with silk. The larvae are a dull grey-green color with a shining black head. They can be found from September to May.[6]
