Lampronia capitella Lampronia capitella The currant shoot borer moth (Lampronia capitella) is a species of moth of the Prodoxidae family. It is found in most of central, northern and eastern Europe. It is also found in North America. The wingspan is 14–17 mm. Adults have chocolate-brown wings with creamy markings and a yellowish-orange head tuft. They are on wing from May to mid-July. The larvae feed on the young green fruit of "Ribes rubrum", "Ribes uva-crispa" and "Ribes nigrum". Larvae can be found from August to September. The species then overwinters in the larval stage near the roots of the host plant.
Ribes marshallii lobes. Glandular hairs occur on veins and leaf margins. The inflorescence is a solitary flower or raceme of up to three flowers which hang pendent from the branches from leaf axils. The small, showy flower has five pointed purple-red sepals which are reflexed upward. At the center is a tubular corolla of bright yellow petals from which emerge five stamens and two thin, mostly fused styles. The fruit is a prickly oblong berry up to 2 centimeters (0.8 inch) long which ripens to dark red. The fruits are edible and reputedly palatable. Ribes marshallii Ribes marshallii is a North American
