Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Entomologist's Monthly Magazine, Vol. 2 of 27
The small ivory-white larva with a brownish head feeds in the ?owers of Erigeron acre; its presence is easily detected when the seeds are ripe by the gathering together of the central ?orets, the outer seeds subsequently falling off leave only the small tuft which contains the pupa. I have not vet found it in the smaller ?orets of Erigeron canadense, which occurs in the same localities in Norfolk. The imago appears in the beginning of June, the end of July, and the beginning of August. This species is not known to occur on the continent. In England, it is found at Shoreham (kent) near London; on the borders of Norfolk and Suffolk and near Norwich.
