About Leucoptera laburnella Stainton

Scientific name: Leucoptera laburnella Stainton

Description: The forewings are white. Beyond the middle of the forewing, an oblique ochreous-yellow bar runs from the costa, and this bar is edged with dark fuscous. Before the apex of the forewing, there is a nearly vertical ochreous-yellow spot on the costa, edged with parallel dark fuscous lines. Below this costal spot sits a pale violet-golden-metallic post-tornal spot, which is edged with black on its sides and yellowish on its upper edge. The apex of the forewing is yellowish, and three diverging dark fuscous bars are present in the apical cilia. The hindwings are whitish, and the larva is green-whitish.
