Cerastium fontanum (Naturalised)

Common Mouse-ear (Cerastium fontanum)

The larvae feed on Stellaria species (including Stellaria uliginosa and Stellaria graminea) and Cerastium fontanum.

Cerastium species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Coleophora chalcogrammella (which feeds exclusively on Cerastium arvense) and Coleophora striatipennella (which has been recorded on Cerastium fontanum).
