Description
The larvae feed on grass-leaved orache (Atriplex littoralis), common orache (Atriplex patula), Atriplex prostrata and sea purslane (Halimione portulacoides). Full-grown larvae live in an almost smooth, greyish-brown, trivalved, tubular silken case of about 6 mm. The case has a mouth angle of 30-45°.[3] Larvae can be found from September to October, then they hibernate and pupate in June or July.
Distribution
It is found from Great Britain to Ukraine, south to the Iberian Peninsula, Sicily and Cyprus.
gollark: I'll offer a Mint; they're very rare.
gollark: Someone wants "rarest egg or hatchling in dragon cave" for a messy 9G gold.
gollark: Does anyone have description-writing advice, also? I eventually want to describe all my dragons, but that will obviously take a while, and it takes me ages to generate ideas.
gollark: On salt infernos: it sounds unrealistic, but if you get enough salt it might undergo gravitational collapse and fuse.
gollark: But Suggestions/Requests is very exciting. Drama round every corner.
