Stigmella regiella (Herrich-Schäffer, 1855) 
Stigmella regiella is something of a rare leaf miner in Nottinghamshire and a difficult one to find. There have been only four published records post-2000, including from Attenborough NR (Clough, J.), Broadholme (Gray, M.), Duke's Wood  (Beeley, G.) and Kirton Wood  (Brownley, N. and Brownley, S.), the latter two records coming from targetted surveys for the mine in October 2026. Thanks again, goes to Nick and Samantha Brownley, for providing the leaf mine below.
