Stigmella
speciosa
(Frey, 1858) ![](http://www.eakringbirds.com/eakringbirds5/textbanner04.jpg) |
Status
.....Certainly quite an easy leaf miner
to find in the Mansfield area and with a record also
coming from south-west Nottinghamshire, this moth should
be more common and widespread. The larvae mine the leaves
of Sycamore. |
