Scrobipalpa proclivella is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It is found in large parts of Europe, east to the southern Ural Mountains and Siberia.[2]
The wingspan is 9–10 mm. Adults have been recorded on wing in May and from July to August[3] in two generations per year.[4]
The larvae feed on Achillea clavenae, Artemisia absinthium, Artemisia vulgaris, Leucanthemella serotina and Tanacetum vulgare. Young larvae create a Phyllonorycter-like tentiform mine, with longitudinal folds. Older larvae live freely amongst spun leaves.[5] The larvae can be found from May to June and from September to October.
