– Leaf-miner
– difficult to identify – detailed examination required, often a Gen Det and/or specimen and quality photographs are required.Confusion Species: Ectoedemia albifasciella – White-banded Dot ; Ectoedemia subbimaculella – Broken-barred Oak Dot
Mine Period Additional: None.
Mine ID Difficulty:
– Care required in ID process as confusion with similar leaf mines. Quality photos of the mine required. Mine Type/s: Gallery, Blotch
Mine Feeding Method/s: N/A
Mine Comment: The mine starts in the leaf of an Oak as a narrow and short gallery that usually runs along the leaf midrib, ending in a tenanted blotch full of brown frass. Unlike E.subbimaculella, the mine does not have a slit in the lower epidermis. The egg is on the upper-side of the leaf and the pale larva should have a reddish-brown head. The mines can be found on the ground amongst fallen leaves with “Green Islands”.

Bedrock Geology ** indirectly affects moth distribution by influencing the type of habitat and food plants available in an area. In turn, this may affect the types of moths that can thrive, or where they can most likely be found.
