Cephis advenaria (Hübner, 1790)

Host plants:
The larvae are polyphagous on dwarf shrubs, especially Vaccinium, but also on herbs.

Habitat:
Cephis advenaria inhabits bright forests which show a rich understory, and shrubby wetlands.

Life cycle:
The pupa hibernates and the moths are on the wing between late April and early July. The larvae feed until September.

Endangerment factors:
Dark forest management with monocultures without rich understory are a major threat.

Remarks:
Cephis advenaria occurs from Europe to East Asia.
