Quick Facts Scrobipalpa pauperella, Scientific classification ...

The wingspan is 10–13 mm (0.39–0.51 in).[4]

The larvae feed on Centaurea scabiosa, Petasites albus, Serratula tinctoria Cirsium palustre and Cirsium helenioides. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine on Cirsium is thought to resemble the mines of Scrobipalpa acuminatella. The larvae are probably stem borers on Centaurea.[5]
