''Stigmella hakekeae'' is a moth of the Nepticulidae family. It is found in New Zealand. The length of the forewings is about 3 mm. Adults have been recorded in every month except March and April. There are four or five generations per year. The larvae feed on ''Olearia'' species, such as ''Olearia arborescens'', ''Olearia ilicifolia'', ''Olearia macrodonta'', ''Olearia nummularifolia'' and ''Olearia paniculata''. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine consists of a tortuous gallery under upper the epidermal layer, following the rib to the leaf margin, which it then follows. Frass is deposited against the roof of the mine. A single leaf of ''O. arborescens'' may contain many mines, but on ''O . macrodonta'' rarely have more than three been found. Larva have been recorded from May to August and in October. They are 3 to 4 mm long and greenish white. The cocoon is made of brown silk and can be found on the ground. ==External links== *(Fauna of New Zealand - Number 16: Nepticulidae (Insecta: Lepidoptera) ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stigmella hakekeae」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
