The genus Cochylis is a group of moths in the family Tortricidae, a family known for its diverse group of leaf-rolling and folding moths. Cochylis moths are typically small to medium-sized and are characterized by their distinctive wing patterns and coloration, which are useful for camouflage. Cochylis moths are primarily nocturnal, with most activity occurring at night. They often hide in dark, sheltered places during the day and emerge to feed or mate in the evening.
