There appear to be three different names for birchleaf rollers: Caloptilia strictella (Walker), Caloptilia alnivorella (Chambers) and Epinotia solandriana (Linnaeus). I haven’t heard of the first two namers, so I will stick with Linnaeus. Notice how I just jumped right into this week’s subject? If you live in Southcentral Alaska, you know why I did so because you know exactly what I am talking about.
