Aethes williana, the silver carrot conch, is a species of moth of the family Tortricidae. It was described by Nikolaus Joseph Brahm in 1791. It is found in most of Europe,[2] Trans-Caspia, Asia Minor, Mongolia, north-western Africa and Iran.[3] It is found in dry, sandy and chalky habitats.
The wingspan is 13–17 millimetres (0.51–0.67 in).[4] Adults are on wing from May to early August.[5]
The larvae feed on Daucus carota, Helichrysum arenarium, Helichrysum stoechas, Eryngium campestre, Eryngium maritimum, Gnaphalium species and Ferula communis.[6] They bore into the lower part of the stem and the roots of their host plant, feeding from within. Larvae can be found in May and June.
