Hellinsia osteodactyla is a moth of the family Pterophoridae. It is found in most of Europe (except the Benelux, Iceland, Ireland and Greece), as well as North Africa and from Asia Minor to Japan . Also known as the small golden-rod plume it was first described by Philipp Christoph Zeller in 1841.[1]
The wingspan is 16–23 millimetres (0.63–0.91 in). Adults are on wing at dusk in July and come to light.[2]
The larvae feed on the flowers and seed-heads of European goldenrod (Solidago virgaurea), Senecio nemorensis, silver ragwort (Senecio bicolour) and goldilocks aster (Aster linosyris).[3]
