Gibberifera simplana, the least bell, is a species of moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found in China (Hebei, Jilin, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Shaanxi, Gansu), Taiwan, Korea, Japan , Russia [2] and Europe, where it has been recorded from Great Britain, France , the Benelux, Germany , Denmark , Austria, Switzerland , Italy, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland , Hungary, Romania, Norway , Sweden, Finland and the Baltic region.[3]
The wingspan is 14–16 mm. Adults are on wing from May to July.
The larvae feed on Populus tremula and Salix species. They feed within a spun leaf on a terminal shoot of their host plant. Larvae can be found from August to September. Pupation takes place in a turned-down edge of a leaf, which then falls to the ground where the species overwinters in the pupal stage.[4]
