Brachmia blandella, the Gorse Crest, is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It is found in most of Europe, except Ireland, Slovenia and Croatia.[1] The habitat consists of woodland margins and heath.
The wingspan is 12–14 mm.[2] Adults are on wing from June to August. There is one generation per year.[3]
The larvae feed on Ulex europaeus. The species overwinters as a young larva in a slight spinning on the host plant. Pupation takes place in early June.[4]
