Phyllodesma tremulifolia 5 Pupae

Small Lappet Phyllodesma tremulifolia

This species is almost identical to our nearly extinct Small Lappet Moth and a perfect miniature of the Lappet Moth: both species are so like a tight bunch of autumn leaves that they rank amongst examples of the world's cleverest camouflage. Larvae feed on Oak Quercus, Birch Betula, Poplars Populus, Ash Fraxinus, Sorbus, Willows and Sallows Salix, Plum and Blackthorn Prunus, Vaccinium. Larval stage normally lasts 5-6 weeks.  The pupae overwinter in a cool place.
