Coleophora trifolii

    Melilot Case-bearer

    ColeophoridaeABH 37.033 B&F 516

    One of the more frequently recorded coleophorids in Somerset.  Most, if not all, records are from adults attracted to light, and it is one of the very few of its family not requiring dissection for identification.  Found across the county, though the only records west of Taunton are from the coast around Porlock.

    Adult Verification Grade: 2

    Case Verification Grade: C1
