STIGMELLA Schranck. (NEPTICULA von Hdn.) 



Members of this genus are seldom seen except as bred, and they are 

 among the most minute of all Lepidoptera, some measuring no more 

 than T/% inch in expanse of wings. The larvae are all leaf miners, usually 

 deserting the mine to pupate in a tough little cocoon attached to a twig 

 or upon the ground. Mines are found from mid-June until frost, and the 

 distribution of the species is usually co-incident with that of its food 

 plant.
