Overview
Endothenia marginana, the downland marble, is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It was described by Adrian Hardy Haworth in 1811. It is found in almost all of Europe and across the Palearctic.
The Bordered Marble faces significant threats from habitat loss and degradation as its specialized woodland and forest edge environments are increasingly fragmented by agricultural expansion and urban development. Climate change poses additional risks by altering the phenology of its host plants and disrupting the delicate timing between larval development and food availability.
Habitat
Inhabits deciduous and mixed woodlands, forest edges, hedgerows, and scrubland where its larval host plants including rose species (Rosa spp.) and other Rosaceae family plants are present. Typically found in areas with a mosaic of woodland and open habitats that provide both breeding sites and nectar sources for adults.
