Cochylidia implicitana, the chamomile conch, is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It was described by Wocke in 1856. It is found in most of Europe, except Ireland and most of the Balkan Peninsula.[2] Outside of Europe, it is found in Morocco, the Alatau mountains in Central Asia,[3] Iran and China (Xinjiang).[4] The habitat consists of waste ground and verges.
The wingspan is 10–14 mm. Adults are on wing from May to August in one generation per year.
The larvae feed on a wide range of plants, including Artemisia campestris, Matricaria, Aster, Anthemis, Solidago, Chrysanthemum, Alchemilla, Helichrysum and Tanacetum species.[5] The larvae have been recorded feeding on the flowers and seeds of their host plant, but may also live in the stems and shoots, feeding on the pith.[6]
