| 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. |
