116 Stigmella lapponica
(Wocke, 1862)
Wingspan 5-7 mm.
Fairly common throughout the British Isles, the adults of this single-generation species are on the wing in May, and the larvae can be found in June and July.
The foodplant is birch (
Betula), and the mine is quite distinctive, being filled with cloudy greenish
frass for the first part, then changing suddenly to a narrow central band of black
frass.
The adults are coarsely-scaled and dull greyish-brown with an indistinct creamy fascia.
