Stigmella
lapponica (Wocke,
1862)  |
| Status
.....A fairly common leaf mine in the Sherwood Forest
area, but would probably prove to be more widespread with more recorder
effort. The mine of Stigmella confusella is found on Birch and
identifiable from the similar mine of Stigmella confusella, by
the fact that the first third, or quarter of the mine of Stigmella
lapponica, is filled with green frass, whereas Stigmella
confusella forms a very thin line of black frass throughout the
mine. Leaf mines of both species, have been found on the same tree. |
