Leaf-miner: An early gallery filled with greenish frass, later leaving clear margins (British leafminers). Egg at the underside of the leaf, near a vein. The mine is a clear corridor, often with a hairpin turn, the section before the turn often following the leaf margin. The first section of the mine is entirely filled with greyish green frass. Further on the frass line is quite variable, black, sometimes coiled, always leaving a clear zone at either side. The shift in the frass pattern usually is quite sharp (probably coincides with a moult). The frass is deposited on the ceiling of the mine. Pupation external; exit slit in upper epidermis (Bladmineerders van Europa). 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 bright yellow, head pale brown (British leafminers). The larva is also illustrated in Bladmineerders van Europa. Pupa: The pupae of moths have visible head appendages, wings and legs which lie in sheaths (see examples). Adult: The adult is illustrated in UKMoths. he species is included in mothdissection.co.uk.
