Spilonota laricana is a moth of the Tortricidae family. It is found in most of Europe (except the Iberian Peninsula and the Balkan Peninsula),[2] China, Japan, Russia and the Nearctic ecozone.[3]

Larva

The wingspan is about 15 mm. Adults are on wing from June to August.[4]

The larvae mainly feed on Larix species, but have also been recorded on other coniferous trees. Young larvae mine the needles of their host plant. After overwintering they feed on the young buds.
