Acleris forsskaleana, the maple leaftier moth, is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found in Europe and North America[1] in woodlands and gardens.
The wingspan is 12–17 mm. The ground colour of the forewings is yellowish underlying a reticulated darker pattern and a greyish suffusion across the disc. Julius von Kennel provides a full description. [2]
The moth flies from June to September from dusk onwards.
The main food plants in Europe are field maple (Acer campestre) and sycamore (A. pseudoplatanus); the larvae can also be found on Norway maple (A. platanoides).
The name honours Peter Forsskål.
