Rubus fruticosus, Duin en Kruidberg

detail

mine

Egg at the underside of the leaf. The mine is a highly contorted gallery, strongly widening towards the end. Frass in the second half of the gallery dispersed. The larve mines venter upwards. Mostly several mines in a leaf.

hostplants

Rosaceae, monophagous

Rubus arcticus, caesius, chamaemorus, fruticosus, saxatilis.

Apparently not on R. idaeus (Johansson ao, 1990a) (but see Maček, 1999a)

At several sites in the Netherlands where E. rubivora was common, vacated mines have been found on Agrimonia eupatoria that strongly resembled those of E. rubivora; they certainly did not belong to E. agrimoniae, a species that does not occur in the Netherlands (van Nieukerken ea, 2010a).

Larvae in late September and October.
