Ypsolopha sequella is a moth of the family Ypsolophidae. It is found in Europe and Anatolia.

The wingspan is 18–20 mm. The moth flies from July to September depending on the location.

The larvae feed on willow, maple and Tilia.

Due to its conspicuous black wing markings, resembling a rabbit, the German colloquial name of this moth translates as 'Easter Bunny Moth'.[1]
