Acrocercops
brongniardella (Fabricius, 1798) |
Status
.....A very local species across southern parts of
the UK and certainly much restricted in Nottinghamshire. However, it is
fairly easy to find in the Sherwood Forest area where the large
silvery/white upper surface leaf mines
are conspicuous on Oak, but yet it was only found new to Nottinghamshire
as recently as 2007 (Pendleton, T.A. and
Pendleton, D.T.). |
