context_page_description: Glyphipterix equitella is a moth of the family Glyphipterigidae. It is found from Fennoscandia to the Iberian Peninsula, Sardinia, Sicily and Crete and from Ireland to Romania.
  The wingspan is 9–10 mm. Adults are on wing from June to July in one generation per year.
  The larvae feed on Sedum acre and Sedum anglicum. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The larva mines out a leaf completely and often also mines part of the stem. Pupation takes place outside of the mine. Full-grown larvae can be found in late May. The larvae are pale yellow with a black head.
