Epinotia cruciana, the willow tortrix, is a moth of the family Tortricidae.
The wingspan is 12âÂÂ15 mm. This moth has a characteristic wing pattern, with a pale brown ground colour and dark brown markings of the forewings, resembling a cross (hence the Latin name cruciana of the species).
Adults are on wing from June to early August.
The larvae feed on various sallows and willows, mainly Salix repens, on which the larva spins together the leaves of a terminal shoot and feeds within.
This species can be found from Europe to Japan and in North America.
