''Stigmella watti'' is a moth of the Nepticulidae family. It is found in New Zealand. The length of the forewings is about 3.5 mm. Adults have been recorded in February. There is probably one generation per year. The larvae feed on ''Olearia colensoi νar. grandis'' and possibly ''Olearia oporina''. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine is a narrow, linear gallery in the upper surface of the leaf. The larva mines from cell to cell and the gallery at first is only one cell wide, hence the margin is somewhat irregular. The mine becomes packed with dry, granular frass. Larva have been recorded in May. They are 3–4 mm long and pale green. The cocoon is brown and attached to the leaves and stem of the host plant. ==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 watti」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
