Coleophora ballotella is a moth of the family Coleophoridae. It is found from Germany, Poland and the Baltic States to the Iberian Peninsula, Italy and Greece. It has also been recorded from northern and southern Russia.
The larvae feed on Ballota nigra, Lamium amplexicaule, Leonurus, Marrubium peregrinum, Marrubium vulgare, Stachys officinalis and Teucrium chamaedrys. They create a dark brown composite leaf case of 10–12 mm (0.39–0.47 in). The rear end is strongly compressed laterally and curved downwards. The mouth angle is about 60°.[2] Full-grown larvae can be found in June and July.
