Phyllocnistis citrella - Citrus Leafminer
A new observation for our Perth Hills garden last night, a Citrus Leafminer.
These moths are found around the world wherever citrus grows, but not frequently reported in WA it seems 🍋🍊

I’m ready to admit that I haven’t given micro moths as much attention as they deserved.
A recent encounter with a Horse-chestnut Leafminer + an opalescent Tachystola acroxantha this morning in the trap have helped me come to this important realisation.

In the SE USA, species of Ilex are parasitized by leafminer flies (Phytomyza spp.; #Agromyzidae). Each species of holly seems to have its own species of leafminer #fly. This is a leaf of I. opaca with P. cf. opacae. #Aquifoliaceae #Ilex #holly #Diptera #botany 🌾🧪🌱 #flysky

Biosecurity Tasmania on alert over first detection of invasive serpentine leafminer
Tasmanian farms at risk from new invasive pest, the serpentine leafminer
The insect has been found at a commercial grower in Tasmania's north-west. It damages the leaves of the plants it attacks and can reduce crop yield.

Porphyrosela minuta, an extremely tiny (~2mm) gold leafminer moth, found as I was working on my car and transferred to my black light. Why Tiny Creature Look Like That is a constant delightful rhetorical question I have 💛

Another new moth species for North America (Phyllocnistis occidentalis Eiseman & van Nieukerken), and the identity of the grape leafminer that has been spreading across Europe for the past 30 years is clarified (P. vitifoliella, not P. vitegenella!).
Grappling with Grape Leafminers
I don’t remember when I first became aware of reports that the grape (Vitaceae: Vitis) leafminer Phyllocnistis vitegenella (Gracillariidae) had been introduced in Europe. There is no mention …

This Tuta Absoluta (tomato leafminer) trap overnight 7/10 at Broadwey Dorset, have attached my poor image. Phil Sterling has now confirmed id. @paulupwey.bsky.social @migrantmothuk.bsky.social

The extremely small caterpillar of a leafminer moth, I think Phyllocnistis citrella, the citrus leafminer, between leaf layers on our lime tree. They can be serious agricultural pests, but haven't ever seemed to hurt our tree that much. We still get plenty of limes for key lime pie and G&Ts.
