Coleophora flavovena is a moth of the Coleophoridae family. It is found in Japan (Hokkaido, Honshu) and Korea.
The wingspan is 11–14 mm.[1] Adults are on wing from late June to early August.
The larvae feed on the leaves of Artemisia princeps and Artemisia montana.[2] They create a leaf-case, made of leaf fragment which are cut from the edges of the leaves of the host plant and attached (one behind the other) in a zigzag manner. The colour is generally dark greyish-brown, except for some sections which are densely covered by light-coloured felt. The case is about 8 mm long.
