Leaf-mine: The larva feeds internally in a needle, working its way from the base to the tip. It may then feed externally in a slight web (UKMoths). The mine is illustrated in Nederlandse bladmineerders. Larva: During the mining phase the larva is orange red, but on emergence is shiny green (British leafminers). The larva is illustrated in Nederlandse bladmineerders. Pupa: In a white cocoon on the ground. The pupa is initially green, then darkens as it matures (British leafminers). Hosts in Britain: Pinaceae       Pinus     Plant, in Pitkin & Plant, 2005 Pinus contorta Lodgepole Pine British leafminers Pinus sylvestris Scots Pine British leafminers Pinus sylvestris Scots Pine UKMoths Hosts elsewhere: Pinaceae       Pinus contorta Lodgepole Pine Nederlandse bladmineerders Pinus sylvestris Scots Pine Belgian Lepidoptera Pinus sylvestris Scots Pine Nederlandse bladmineerders Time of year - mines: March - April (British leafminers). Time of year - adults: The adults fly in June and July, when they can be attracted to light (UKMoths). Distribution in Britain: A widespread but local species occurring over much of England and Scotland in its favoured habitat, pine woodland (UKMoths), including Bedford, East Cornwall, East Ross, East Sutherland, Easterness, South Aberdeen, South Devon, South Lancaster and West Perth (NBN Gateway distribution map - BRERC, DBRC, HBRG, JNCC, NE, NESBRC, SNH and SHWRG).
