Ectoedemia rubivora

    Dewberry Dot

    NepticulidaeABH 4.097 B&F 31

    Astonishingly local for a miner on brambles, most records of this species come from a small area between Midsomer Norton and Shepton Mallet, where it is very irregular in occurrence, present in numbers on sites one year yet absent the next.  Also recorded from wild raspberry.

    Mine Verification Grade: L
