Nematopogon pilella is a moth of the Adelidae family. It is found in almost all of Europe, except Portugal, Spain and Slovenia.[1]
The wingspan is 13–16 mm.[2] Head is orange, face whitish. Forewings less elongate, shining greyish-ochreous or light fuscous, faintly darker-strigulated. Hindwings grey; cilia grey.[3] To certainly determine the species of the genus Nematopogon dissection and study of the genitalia is necessary.The larvae possibly feed on the dead leaves of Vaccinium species.[4] They live within a movable case.[5]
