Eucosma aspidiscana, the golden-rod bell, is a species of moth of the Tortricidae family. It is found in China (Anhui, Henan, Shaanxi, Gansu), Mongolia, Korea, Japan, Russia, North Africa and most of Europe.[2][3] The habitat consists of woodlands, downland, waste grounds and cliffs.[4]
The wingspan is 13–20 mm.[5] Adults are on wing from the end of April to June.[6]
The larvae feed on Solidago, Crinitaria and Aster species. Young larvae feed on the flower heads of their host plant. Later, they bore into the stem causing a gall to form.[7] Larvae can be found from August to April.
