Yponomeuta cf. malinellus
Apple Ermine
Attenborough, Nottinghamshire, England - August 2012
The all white form of Yponomeuta malinellus cannot with certainty be separated from Y. cagnagella without recourse to disection of the genitalia. It has a local distribution in England and Wales. As its common name would suggest, the larvae feed on Apple trees.
