The Hieracium Plume Moth (Oxyptilus pilosellae) is a moth of the Pterophoridae family. It is found in almost all of Europe, east to Russia and Asia Minor. It was released as a biological control agent for Hieracium in New Zealand in 1998.
The wingspan is 15-24 mm. Adults are on wing from May to August in western Europe.
Young larvae feed within the roots of Hieracium species, including Hieracium pilosella. Later instars feed on the flowerheads, beneath a silken web.
