ID pointers: The adult moth is characteristically marked and cannot be confused. The silvery mine with brown speckling is located over the midrib or vein on the upper-side of the leaf, which is unusual. It also has a “double” mine within a mine, the outer mine being translucent and flecked with brown. Shown on Crataegus (Hawthorn). Also found on Prunus (Cherry) and Malus (Apple)
