context_page_description: Coleophora lineolea is a moth of the family Coleophoridae. It is found in most of Europe.
  The wingspan is 11–14.5 mm. Adults have yellowish ochre veins. They are on wing from late June to August.
  The larvae feed on Labiates including black horehound, dead nettles, white horehound, Phlomis species, Stachys alopecuros, lamb's-ear, betony, stiff hedgenettle and hedge woundwort. Young larvae make a full depth, quickly widening corridor. The frass is deposited as small grains in a broad central band. The corridor widens into a blotch from which the youth case is cut. The fully developed case is a hairy, greyish brown to silver grey lobe case of about 10 mm long, with a clearly laterally compressed end. The mouth angle is about 90°. Full-grown larvae can be found from the end of May to the end of July.
