Coptodisca negligens is a moth of the Lepidopteria family. It was described by Annette Frances Braun in 1920.[1] It is found in North America, including Ohio.[2]

The wingspan is 4-4-5 mm. The basal half of the forewings is pale leaden metallic, while the apical half is bright orange yellow. The hindwings are gray.[3] There is one generation per year with adults on wing from late June to mid-July.

The larvae feed on Vaccinium macrocarpon. They mine the leaves of their host plant. Larvae can be found from mid-April and early July.[4]
