Micro Hints & Tips - Bucculatrix nigricomella

This is one of the first leaf mines of the year, you can find it on the young leaves of Ox-eye Daisy.
It is in the county but not been found/seen since Langmaid and Pelham-Clinton in 1982.
If you have any ox-eye Daisy near you please look out for it.  The larva is yellow - in a mine at first and moving to feed externally as they grow bigger.


Happy hunting.

      I am going to try to keep them topical, but when we get into the mothing season proper they may dry up a bit.
      So long as you find some of these moths on the vc46 side of the border. ;-)
