Coptotriche marginea

    Bramble Blotch-miner

    TischeriidaeABH 10.003 B&F 125

    Common and widespread as a miner of bramble, though nowhere near as abundant as its fellow leaf-miner Stigmella aurella; other than perhaps parts of Exmoor, gaps in distribution are more likely to reflect absence of recorders than absence of the moth.
