Bird-cherry ermine

The bird-cherry ermine (Yponomeuta evonymella) is a day active lepidopteran from the family Yponomeutidae, the ermine moths. The wingspan of the moth ranges from 16 to 25 mm.
The host plant of the bird-cherry ermine is the bird cherry. Because the caterpillars make an extensive weblike nest, they can eat a whole tree bare unhindered although it is quite possible that the trees can survive with reduced growth in the following growth seasons.[1]
The flight time ranges from July up to August. The moth can be found in the whole of Europe and the northern and eastern part of Asia.
