immundella (Zeller, 1839)  |

.....Probably quite widely distributed
among stands of Broom (Cytisus scoparius),
but rarely recorded in Nottinghamshire. The larvae of
this tiny moth mine the stems of Broom, producing small
black galleries where the egg is usually present at the top/start of the
mine. The larva mines down the stem. The are currently known records
from Warsop Main Pit Top and Budby South Forest. |
