Few photos of one of Polish Psychidae species. This is one of my favourite species, which I had in nursery few years ago.
A.atra is widely spread in Europe, in Italy you should have it too.
In Poland is local, but quite common, and has partially one/two years growth cycle. Literature says that it is connected with Calluna sp. or Vaccinium sp. but I bred them from egg to imago with Salix sp only.
