Acrobasis suavella, the thicket knot-horn or blackthorn knot-horn, is a moth of the family Pyralidae.[1][2][3][4][5][6] It was described by Johann Leopold Theodor Friedrich Zincken in 1818 and is native to Europe.[3][7] It has been accidentally introduced and become established around Vancouver, British Columbia.[7][6]
The wingspan is 22–24 mm.[4] The moth flies in one generation from June to August on the British Isles,[6] extending in low numbers to October in Belgium.[5]
The caterpillars preferably feed on blackthorn, Prunus spinosa, but they have also been found on Cotoneaster, Crataegus, and Sorbus.[3][6]
