1260 Cydia splendana (Hübner, 1799)Wingspan 12-16 mm. Occupying
deciduous woodland where oak (Quercus) or sweet chestnut
(Castanea) occurs, the larvae of this species feed internally on
the acorns or chestnuts. Locally common over much of Britain,
the adults can be found in July and August from evening into the
night, and can be attracted by light. The greyish adult has a
slight 'speckled' appearance caused by pale tips to many of the
scales.
