Aethes rubigana, the burdock conch, is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found in most of Europe, except the Iberian Peninsula and part of the Balkan Peninsula.[2] Outside of Europe, it is found in China (Beijing, Hebei, Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, Ningxia), Japan and Russia.[3]
The wingspan is 15–19 mm. Adults are on wing from late June to August in western Europe.[4]
The larvae feed on the seedheads Arctium species (including Arctium lappa and possibly Arctium minus). Full-grown larvae overwinter from October in a cocoon on the ground or occasionally in the seedhead. Pupation takes place within this cocoon.[5]
