Epinotia bilunana is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found in Europe, and quite widespread throughout Britain.
The wingspan is 13–17 mm. The moth flies from May to August. [1].
It is easy to identify with its creamy or whitish gray wings, and blackish marking on either side of the median area, starting half way between the costa and dorsum and finishing at the dorsum.
The larvae feed internally on the catkins of birch.
