[ID] Tortrix sp.

[Jason Green]

Hi all,

I have a Tortricinae (...should families be italicised?) sub-family member for ID. A bit of a puzzle, though...

20/07?/2009

Not sure on body length, or tree sapling it was on...
...but was surrounded by brambles and bindweed.

...quite distinctive. Two broad, continuous bands across lower-half, with the top one meeting the lower n the middle. I can't think of one that matches!

Thanks for reading.

Take care,

Jason

...ah, I've just looked at it again. I'm thinking of the Carnation Tortix, Cacoecimorpha pronubana? You know, the 1905-arriving imported one.

Depends if you want to emphasize it or not

As for the moth... what about the Carnation Tortrix Cacoecimorpha pronubana?
