Stigmella betulicola

(Stainton, 1856)110 / 4.005

Hertfordshire Notes:

Listed for the Sandridge area by Griffith (1890) but there has been no particular change in status since I stated (Plant, 2008) that modern records of this moth seems to be restricted in Hertfordshire to the Broxbourne Woods complex. Outliers are at Waterford Common and Bricket Wood.

Middlesex Notes:
On birch Betula. A single adult was taken at a light trap at Barnet by Rachel Terry. It may be relevant to point out that very few people indeed attempt to name nepticulids adults from light traps; indeed, all our other records relate to leaf mines.

Mine: Either the leaf or a good photograph required

Recorded in 5 (12%) of 41 10k Squares.
First Recorded in 1890.
Last Recorded in 2015.
