Ancylis badiana is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found in the Palearctic realm. The wingspan is 12–16 mm.16–20 mm. The forewing has a brown dorso-basal blotch, From the apex there is a costal streak chequered brown and cream, edged with black, reaching to a cream cross-line. The moth flies from late April to June and again from July to September in two generations, although this might be dependent on the location. The larvae feed on Trifolium, Vicia, Lathyrus and Lythrum salicaria.

A DNA barcode is a short, standardised stretch of genes that works like a fingerprint — enough to tell one species from another. Below is the molecular trace Ancylis badiana has left across the world's sequence archives.

▸ drag or hover over the strip to read any position — letter and how much it varies
Violet ticks below the strip = positions where individuals differ; flat = the species' unchanging signature. 97% of positions are identical in every specimen.
Where individuals differ — all 23 variable positions, in barcode order
Each circle is a barcode variant; bigger = more specimens, colour = region. Lines join the most similar variants and the tick marks count the mutations between them — a tight cluster is one “dialect”, a long line a more divergent lineage. Click a circle to list its actual specimens.

Where the DNA of Ancylis badiana was picked up in samples of water, soil or air — nobody saw the organism, only its DNA left behind. A trace is a clue that the species was near, not a confirmed sighting.

How to read this: each dot is one detection of this species' DNA in an environmental sample. The confidence meter weighs how many independent studies and places back up the signal — one detection in one study is a hint; many across several studies is solid. Records dated before 2008 (when eDNA methods began) are treated as likely mislabeled and left off the map.
