Stigmella sanguisorbae (Wocke, 1865)
mine
Egg deposited at the underside of the leaf, close to the leaf margin. Around the oviposition site the leaf turns red. The mine is a gradually widening corridor. For the first 1.5-2 cm it runs precisely along the leaf margin, even into the serrations. Then the corridor doubles and makes a secondary blotch. Frass over the entire length in a diffuse central line. Pupation external.
