Rollin' - _TNY_1881

Here's a cute and rather small tortricid moth - a bilberry roller (Ancylis myrtillana).

 

As the name suggests the larvae of this species really like the leaves on bilberry - what many people in Europe erroneously call blueberry (blueberry is the larger and less tasty North American equivalent).
