Coleophora virgaureae

    Goldenrod Case-bearer

    ColeophoridaeABH 37.08 B&F 564

    Found after a long absence from the county in 2019 on the Blue Anchor cliffs, where the likely foodplant is goldenrod; very old records from Batcombe and Leigh Woods.  Sea aster is an alternative foodplant and it may be worth searching for the cases on this plant.
