Luquetia lobella is a moth of the family Depressariidae. It is found in most of Europe, except Ireland, the Iberian Peninsula, Finland , Estonia and most of the Balkan Peninsula.
The wingspan is 23–26 mm.[2] Adults are on wing in June.[3]
The larvae feed on blackthorn (Prunus spinosa), hawthorn (Crataegus species) and Sorbus species. They feed from a spinning amongst the leaves, which are rolled downwards. Larvae can be found from mid-July to the beginning of October and are bright green with a white stripe. Pupation takes place in a silken cocoon amongst leaf-litter. The species overwinters in the pupal stage.
