Ectoedemia
heringi (Toll,
1934)  |
Status
.....Genuinely uncommon and not an easy find, but
recorded from Sherwood Forest NNR in 2009. It has since remained scarce
across Sherwood Forest, but a number of exited leaf mines were found at
Clipstone Old Quarter in December 2023 and tenanted mines at Cockglode
Wood near Ollerton in October 2025.
Vacated mines are sometimes difficult to tell apart from some other late leaf miners
creating similar mines, but in the mine
of E. heringi, there is no slit on the underside of the mine to
let the frass fall out, so the accumulated frass remains. |
