Ancylis comptana, the strawberry leaf-roller or Comptan's ancylis moth, is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found from the United Kingdom and Scandinavia to northern Spain and Turkey, Asia Minor, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Russia, China, Mongolia, Korea and Japan. In North America, it is represented by ssp. fragariae.
The wingspan is 11–14 mm. Adults are on wing from April to June and from mid-July until September. There are two generations per year in Europe. In the northern United States, moths of the first generation fly from the end of March to April and those of the second in late May and June. Here, a third or sometimes even a fourth generation occurs, flying in August and from September to October.
The larvae feed on Sanguisorba minor, Potentilla, Fragaria, Teucrium, Rosa, Dryas octopetala, Rubus idaeus, Rubus icaesius and Thymus. Wikipedia →

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Strawberry Leafroller Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Dallas (9 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
