Leaf-mine:
Gallery-like full depth mine, mainly in the base of the leaf, with
irregularly scalloped sides. Frass in the oldest part of the mine
in thick black grains; further on the mine does not contain frass
at all. In the transition between the two parts there is a hole
in the epidermis from which frass is ejected. Older larvae live
free, between spun terminal shoots (Bladmineerders
van Europa).
Larva:
Young, mining larvae green (Hering, 1957a). Older larvae dull
whitish green with five dull pink length lines. Head and prothoracic
plate black; pinacula small, black (Bland et al., 2002a) (Bladmineerders
van Europa).
Pupa:
See Patocka and Turcáni (2005a) (Bladmineerders
van Europa).
Adult:
The adult is illustrated in UKMoths by John Murray. The genitalia are not illustrated by the Lepidoptera
Dissection Group (check for update).

alsine (Bog Stitchwort) by Stace (2010).
