It's early days but this shot shows both the fine detail that can be captured and also the very shallow depth of field at the higher end of the zoom - the eye is in focus but not the nose!</strong></div>

<strong>4.006<span style="color: #ffd966;"> Small Birch Pygmy</span> (<em>Stigmella sakhalinella</em>)</strong><strong> mine in birch at Copley meadow, Sept. 9th 2017. </strong><strong>I popped down to Copley to see the instalment of the new bridge at North Dean after the last one was severely damaged by the Boxing day floods. On route I stopped off at Copley meadow and got caught out in a torrential downpour. Whilst sheltering under a birch tree I noticed this mine. Straight away I knew it was something good - the coiled, brown frass throughout was a good pointer. Unheard of in Yorkshire until 2010 it's still quite rare but I suspect more people are now aware of it and searching for it.</strong><strong><br /></strong><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>52.014<span style="color: #ffd966;"> Six-belted Clearwing. </span></b><strong>It's June 23rd 2019 and Barry Nield, a trustee of the Cromwell Bottom Wildlife Group, recently purchased several pheromone lures and traps mainly for clearwing species. Here he is hanging a trap up with a Large Red-belted Clearwing lure inside at woodland opposite the cafe area. The plastic capsule containing the pheromones sits inside the lid of the trap with the scent wafting out above the simple, lobster-pot type trap below.</strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong>The </strong><b><span style="color: #ffd966;">Six-belted Clearwing</span></b><strong> trap was situated on North Loop where there is plenty of its food plants - Bird's-foot Trefoil and Kidney Vetch.</strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong>An hour or so later we checked the trap and I noticed a clearwing buzzing around the lid. Not wishing to swipe the trap out of the bush (and risk losing the lure capsule) I tentatively netted it only to find it was only just inside the net. That, coupled with the breezy conditions quickly enable it to escape and disappear in to the ether never to be seen again. </strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong>As Six-belted are the only clearwings known to be attracted to the API lure I'm confident enough to record it as this species.</strong></div>

<strong>I find rearing leaf miners to be one of the most rewarding forms of mothing. From finding the mines, observing them and their inhabitants under a microscope, the challenge of rearing them through to adulthood (which can take several months) and finally the equally challenging task of photographing the tiny adults.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong><u><span style="color: #ffd966; font-size: large;">WHY BOTHER SEARCHING FOR AND REARING LEAF MINERS?</span></u></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #ffd966;">1.</span> You will record many additional species to your area as a lot are are not attracted to light or only weakly so. It also provides ample opportunities to find species never recorded before in your borough or vice county.</strong><div><b><br /></b>
<strong><span style="color: #ffd966;">2.</span> Identifying the species at the mining stage is often straight forward or at least it provides vital information for identifying the adult later on. Identifying the adult alone is often a job for experts which often involves dissecting the moth.</strong></div><div><b><br /></b>
<strong><span style="color: #ffd966;">3.</span> Having successfully reared a moth it is usually a perfect, unworn specimen which makes for a good photo opportunity.</strong></div><div><b><br /></b>
<strong><span style="color: #ffd966;">4.</span> Moths in traps, especially singletons don't tell us where they have bred. They may have travelled many miles. Finding mines often gives a positive breeding record for a site, unless it's a dispersed, pregnant female from elsewhere.</strong></div><div><b><br /></b>
<strong><span style="color: #ffd966;">5.</span> Rearing miners gives an interesting insight in to their early stages such as which foodplants they use, what types of mines they create, where they pupate etc.</strong></div><div><b><br /></b>
<strong><span style="color: #ffd966;">6.</span> It keeps the mothing "season" going all year round often at times when moth traps can have disappointingly low catches. </strong><br />
<strong> </strong><strong><br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></span><u><span style="color: #ffd966; font-size: large;">THE FOUR MAIN GROUPS I REAR ARE: </span></u></strong><strong></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #ffd966;">Eriocrania</span>, there are only 7 or 8 species but the mines are easy to find. Rearing takes 9 or 10 months to do and identifying the larvae isn't always straight forward.</strong><br /><strong><span style="color: #ffd966;">Nepticulids</span>, the mines of many species are easy to find but rearing can be a bit hit and miss. The adults are hyperactive and difficult to photograph.</strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #ffd966;">Phyllonorycters</span>, the mines are easy to find and can be straight forward to rear. Adults can be difficult to photograph unless caught just after emergence.</strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #ffd966;">Coleophoridae</span>, the cases are generally difficult to find but a handful of species are quite common. They are usually easy to rear and photograph.</strong><br />
<strong><br /></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: red;">Perhaps the most useful guide for rearing ALL groups of leaf miners can be found here: </span><a href="https://bugtracks.wordpress.com/2016/05/17/bug-rearing-101/">https://bugtracks.wordpress.com/2016/05/17/bug-rearing-101/</a></strong><br />

<strong>It's written by Charley Eiseman who resides in the USA, his methods are user friendly and highly recommended.</strong><strong><strong></strong></strong><br />
<strong><strong><br />
</strong> Also, t<strong>he UK leaf miners site has several articles on rearing leaf miners amongst their newsletters. January and February 2007 being particularly useful.</strong></strong><br />

<br />
<strong>Some useful literature on the subject is "Breeding Butterflies and Moths - a practical handbook for all European species" by Ekkehard Friedrich. It gives information about rearing all lepidoptera including micros and leaf miners.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Web sites such as UK Leaf miners, Dutch Leaf miners and the UK Leaf miners Facebook group are especially valuable, especially for <u>identifying the mines</u> in the first place (important!). The links to which are on my home page.<strong> </strong></strong><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong>If you do go down the leaf miner rearing route you will have failures, you will be disappointed when out pops a parasitic wasp instead of a prized specimen. But trust me, you will have successes - plenty of them, and you will have delved in to a most fascinating, hidden world where the most beautiful and exciting creatures live. They are everywhere from the bleakest moors to your own back garden.</strong></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><strong><br /></strong></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><strong>Give it a go, you won't be disappointed!</strong></div>
