337 Phyllonorycter hilarella (Herrich-Schaffer, 1855)
< back | map | next >
a large blotch mine is formed

Food Plant: Salix (Willow)

Mine: July, September-October

Notes: The leaf surface is often contorted by this largish mine (as shown). P.dubitella is a confusion mine and both must be bred through to confirm identity. The pupae are very similar.

Data: 2003, Lancashire
