Coleophora ammodyta is a moth of the family Coleophoridae that can be found in Turkestan, Uzbekistan and Saudi Arabia.[1]
The larvae feed on the fruit of Salsola richteri. The larvae do not make a case, but live inside the fruit. The larvae are yellowish-white with a brown head and a length of about 6 mm. They can be found from September to October. They hibernate in sandy cocoons after feeding.[2]
