Leaf-miner: A gallery leading to whitish blotch. The larvae from the autumn generation feed throughout the winter. Pupation occurs inside the mine. Mines in shaded places can be large (British leafminers). Oviposition at the upperside of the leaf. From there runs a short corridor that widens into a long-elliptic blotch. The blotch is upper-surface, whitish to yellow-brown; the larva lines the inside with much silk, causing the mine to pucker slightly. All frass is ejected through a small opening in the underside of the mine. Pupation within the mine; the pupa is not enclosed in a cocoon (Bladmineerders van Europa) The mine is also illustrated (UKMoths). Larva: The larvae of moths have a head capsule and chewing mouthparts with opposable mandibles (see video of a gracillarid larva feeding), six thoracic legs and abdominal legs (see examples). The larva is illustrated in British leafminers, Bladmineerders van Europa and UKMoths. Pupa: The pupae of moths have visible head appendages, wings and legs which lie in sheaths (see examples). The pupa is illustrated in Bladmineerders van Europa. Adult: The adult is illustrated in UKMoths. The species is included in mothdissection.co.uk. Comments: The summer generation of this species is discussed in the British Leafminers Newsletter. Hosts in Great Britain and Ireland:
