Orophia ferrugella is a species of moth in the family Oecophoridae. It was described by Denis and Schiffermuller in 1775. It is found in most of Europe, except Ireland, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Portugal, Ukraine, Slovenia and Greece.[1]
The wingspan is 12–16 mm. Adults are on wing from May to August in one generation per year.[2]
The larvae feed on Campanula persicifolia. The larvae mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a full depth blotch, running parallel to the midrib. A single larva makes several mines. Frass is only found in the first mine. Older larvae live free in tube made of a leaf.[3] Larvae are found in spring.
