Phyllonorycter rajella

(Linnaeus, 1758)345 / 15.067

General comments:
The availability of alder trees will limit the range of this species in our area, but its ability to thrive on the non-native alders elsewhere is doubtless repeated here and allows for its relatively widespread distribution in comparison with other alder-feeding species.
