Stigmella magdalenae mine
The wingspan is 4–5 mm. Adults are on wing in July.
The larvae feed on Amelanchier ovalis, Amelanchier spicata, Cotoneaster integerrimus, Malus sylvestris, Sorbus aucuparia and Sorbus torminalis. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine consists of a narrow corridor. It sometimes follows the leaf margin for a while, more often it is found along a major vein. The frass is concentrated in a narrow, regularly interrupted central line.
