Evidence suggests that this leaf miner is rarely recorded in
Nottinghamshire and while much of this may be down to the lack of
recorder effort and coverage, it may be that this species is not that
common, or easy to find. Indeed, the mines of Stigmella continuella
are not easy to detect on the leaves of Birch, so great credit must go
to Graham Beeley, who found the mine at Rainworth Heath in November
2024. There are at least two other recent county records, from Clumber Park in
2022 and again in 2025. It may ultimately prove to be more widespread,
if
looked for. |
