Description
The wingspan is 11–14 mm. Adults are on wing from mid-June to August.[1]
The larvae feed on the generative organs of jointed rush (Juncus articulatus) and saltmarsh rush (Juncus gerardii), forming a case made from silk and the remains of the seed capsule. It is 6–7 mm in length and the mouth angle is 15–20°.[2] The case is similar to ''Coleophora taeniipennella'' which also uses the same host plants.[2] The larvae overwinter with pupation taking place in May and June.
Distribution
It is found in most of Europe and is also known from the eastern part of the Palearctic ecozone and the Near East.[3] It is also found in China.[4]

gollark: Most trips are *not* that long, and I figure for long ones, if there was more automation and efficiency in the process, you could rent a longer-range car temporarily (in some hypothetical world where this is a common thing).
gollark: Well, then you can use... a non-electric car, for now.
gollark: It's not like you need most cars to be able to satisfy every eventuality.
