Stigmella
basiguttella (Heinemann, 1862)  |
| Status
.....A generally common leaf miner of Oak Quercus
robur, with the Sherwood Forest area providing most of the county's
records. However, this is probably a more
widespread species than the distribution map suggests. An easy Oak miner
to identify, with the highly contorted mine being completely filled with
cloudy, green frass, which becomes brown and more conpicuous with age. |
