Wikipedia Abstract

Bucculatrix albedinella is a moth of the Bucculatricidae family. It is found in most of Europe (except Ireland and the Iberian Peninsula). The wingspan is 8–9 millimetres (0.31–0.35 in). The larvae feed on Ulmus species. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine consists of a winding full depth corridor with a proportionally long larval chamber. The black frass is deposited in a broad central line, leaving a clear zone at either side. Older larvae live free on the leave, causing window feeding.
