Overview

Grapholita discretana is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It was described by Maximilian Ferdinand Wocke in 1861. It is found in most of Europe, except Great Britain, Ireland, the Iberian Peninsula and most of the Balkan Peninsula.

Grapholita discretana, the humlevecklare, faces severe population decline primarily due to habitat loss and degradation of its specialized host plant environments. The species' narrow ecological requirements and limited distribution make it extremely vulnerable to environmental changes and human activities that alter its breeding and feeding habitats.
