Aporodes floralis is a species of moth in the family Crambidae first described by Jacob Hübner in 1809. It is found in most of continental Europe (except the Benelux, and the Baltic region),[1] Algeria, Syria, Afghanistan, central Asia, north-western India[2] and Yemen[3]
The wingspan is 15–20 mm. The forewings are deep purple, suffused with blackish or greyish brown and with well defined cross lines. Adults are on wing from May to the beginning of October in two generations per year.
The larvae feed on Cynara cardunculus and Convolvulus arvensis.[4]
