Mine ID Difficulty:
– Easy to identify, generally the leaf mine is distinctive and unlikely to be confused with other species. Mine Type/s: Gallery, Blotch
Mine Feeding Method/s: Not Recorded
Mine Comment:
The larvae feed on Oak and characteristically make twisting initial mines as a tortuous, silvery gallery in the upper epidermis, which then join to form a large papery blotch. There are multiple galleries, often several on a single leaf. Larvae feed on the palisade parenchyma within this communal mine. Pupation usually occurs outside the mine, in a silken cocoon amongst detritus.

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.
