Cnephasia conspersana is a species of moth of the Tortricidae family. It is found in Ireland, Great Britain, France, Italy, Portugal, Spain and North Africa.[2] The habitat consists of coastal chalk downlands and heathlands.
The wingspan is 15–22 mm. Adults have been recorded on wing in July. There is generally one generation per year, although two have been reported from Ireland.[3]
The larvae feed on the flowers of Dryas octopetala, Chrysanthemum, Taraxacum, Teucrium, Hieracium, Hypochoeris, Leontodon and Helianthemum species.[4] They spin the petals of the flowers together, and feed from within.[5]
