| Coleophora binderella larval case, Trench Wood. |
I've been making the effort to do a bit more leaf-mining this autumn so this morning, although it was cold, damp and grey, I visited Trench Wood hoping to find
Phyllonorycter esperella on hornbeam. Whilst I failed to find the target I had a good selection of mines of other species and even managed to see the larval stages of three Coleophs,
Coleophora gryphipennella on rose,
C. lusciniaepennella on sallow and
C. binderella on grey alder so there is always something worth seeing.
