Operophtera brumata (Linnaeus, 1758) - winter moth
The adults can tolerate low temperatures but this species is only active above the freezing point. The caterpillars attack the buds and young leaves (later also the fruits) of apricot, cherry, apple, plum, currant as well as chestnut and other forest trees, specially oak and birch. Some populations go through cyclic outbreaks approximately every 10 years. It is an introduced species in North America, which was successfully suppressed by classical biological control.
For details see the respective page in Wikipedia.
