Leaf miner moth survey if not now when community woodland October 2013
Completed by Kevin and Joan Saul
Summary
Most are common species, with one or two classed as “local”. The most interesting is the nationally scarce Phyllonorycter dubitella. This was one that was reared from sallow leaves (the mine can be very similar to that of the common species that feeds on the same tree), and I hadn’t realised at the time just how uncommon the species was in Norfolk. In those terms, it’s probably the “best” moth we’ve recorded at Suffield so far!
