Stigmella aurella - one of our commonest leaf miners. It feeds on Bramble

This site is the result of an on-going project, set up to photograph and record all the leaf mining fauna which occur in Britain. Included also are stem miners and borers. Use has been made of SLR and Digital cameras, as well as Scanners, in compiling this site. The leaf mining fauna include Coleoptera (beetles), Diptera (flies), Hymenoptera (sawflies) and Lepidoptera (moths).
