About the Barred Marble

Celypha striana is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It is the type species of its genus Celypha. This species prefers open grassy habitats, rough meadows and roadsides. The wingspan is 16–22 mm. This species is very variable in color. Usually the basic color of the forewings is light ochreous, finely reticulated dark brown. In the middle of the forewings there is a strongly developed transverse darker brown band and brown markings on the outer edge. The hindwings are gray or pale brown. Julius von Kennel provides a full description.

These moths fly from late May to late September. [1]. The males are active by day and from dusk onwards, while females fly only from dusk. They are attracted to light. The larvae feed on the roots of dandelion (Taraxacum officinale). They pupate in a cocoon and hibernate.
