Wikipedia Abstract

Acrocercops albinatella is a moth of the Gracillariidae family, known from Quebec and the United States (including Maryland, New York, Maine, Georgia, Florida, Missouri, Ohio, Kentucky and Texas). Adults are on wing in late June and early July in central Illinois. The hostplants for the species include Quercus alba, Quercus laevis, Quercus obtusiloba, Quercus rubra, and Quercus stellata. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine starts as a long, winding, Nepticulid-like mine ending in a large, tentiform mine on the underside of the leaf.
