Coptotriche marginea is a moth of the family Tischeriidae, found in most of Europe. It was named by the English botanist, carcinologist and entomologist, Adrian Hardy Haworth in 1828, from a specimen found in England. The larvae mine the leaves of brambles (Rubus) species.
The wingspan is 7–8 mm. Adults are brownish with a slight metallic sheen. The forewings are ochreous-yellow.The costa anteriorly narrowly, posteriorly broadly suffused with dark purplish-fuscous. The termen suffused with dark purplish-fuscous with a dark fuscous tornal dot. The hindwings are rather dark grey.
They are on wing from May to June and again in August. Ovum Eggs are laid on the upper surface on a bramble leaf, especially Rubus fruticosus. Larvae The larvae feed on European dewberry (Rubus caesius), Rubus canescens, Armenian blackberry (Rubus armeniacus), blackberry (Rubus fruticosus), Rubus grabowskii, Rubus hypargyrus, raspberry (Rubus idaeus), evergreen blackberry (Rubus laciniatus), Rubus macrophyllus, Rubus nemorosus and stone bramble (Rubus saxatilis). They mine the leaves of their host plant. Occupied mines can be found in June and again from September to March.

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Bordered Carl sighting in London on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 1005th most-seen of the 1504 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January and February
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Bordered Carl in London on a given day, against under 5% in March to December, the lowest months.
Between 10 pm and 1 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Bordered Carl sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is seen both by day and at night.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Bordered Carl sightings, London ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Liverpool (United Kingdom, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Bordered Carl is recorded against all the insects logged in London (11 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.
