Common Cloaked Shoot

<em>Gypsonoma dealbana</em>, commonly known as the common cloaked shoot moth, is a small tortricid moth belonging to the family Tortricidae. This species is distributed across parts of Europe, with recorded occurrences in Belgium, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden.

The caterpillars of <em>Gypsonoma dealbana</em> often feed within rolled or tied leaves and shoots of deciduous trees and shrubs, particularly willows and poplars. Adults are typically small, with mottled gray and white forewings that provide effective camouflage against bark and foliage. The species is assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, indicating no significant conservation concerns at present. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
