Bear's or Wild garlic [Allium ursinum] is the host plant for the Durham Tinea [Acrolepiopsis betulella] caterpillar. The larval stage of the adult, false diamondback moth favors the plant's flowers and seedheads. But the plant serves as a food source to just the one generation that results from the moth's egg-laying every July. The insect's native range is central and Western Europe.
