About the Scabious Conch

Aethes hartmanniana, the scabious conch, is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It was described by Carl Alexander Clerck in 1759. It is found in most of Europe, Asia Minor, Armenia and the southern Urals. The species occurs in chalky and limestone habitats.

The wingspan is 15–23 millimetres (0.59–0.91 in). Adults are on wing from June to August. The larvae feed on Scabiosa ochroleuca, Succisa and Knautia species. They feed within the roots of their host plant. The species overwinters and pupates in the larval habitation during spring. Wikipedia →

GBIF citizen-science records

It is estimated from how often the Scabious Conch is recorded against all the insects logged in Vienna (8 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.
