Coleophora autumnella is a moth of the Coleophoridae family that can be found in Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, Romania and Spain.[2]
The larvae feed on Aster alpinus and Aster amellus. They create a tubular silken case, covered with grains of sand and detritus. The youth case is 12–14 millimetres (0.47–0.55 in). In spring the very long and narrow rear end is discarded, leaving an almost straight, sausage-shaped, three-valved and 8–9.5 millimetres (0.31–0.37 in) long case with a mouth angle of about 45°.[3] Full-grown larvae can be found in May.
