Rearing success with a tiny one

Been finding plenty of Phyllocnistis species mines this Autumn, including P. unipunctella on Poplar. Several of which emerged recently and one even sat still long enough to pose for the camera too.

More mining gems

Whilst we all seem to have suffered with records to the traps, leaf mines are in abundance everywhere right now here in East Kent.

Here's a few more from recent days...

Stigmella continuella


Stigmella betulicola


Stigmella basiguttella


Phyllonorycter esperella

Phyllocnistis unipunctella

Leucoptera malifoliella
