Biology and life cycle Adults (moths) appear from April onwards, emerging after over-wintering as pupae in leaf litter, and will subsequently mate during the early mornings. Leaf-miner: The larva mines the leaves causing noticeable brown blotches, often many to one leaf. However, several peculiarities in the leafminer's biology and ecology, such as its inefficient control through natural enemies, indicate that it may be of exotic origin. It was discovered in Belgium in 1999 at Tervuren (BR) and in the same year searches for the mines in OV and WV were negative. Causal Agent Adult moths appear from April onwards. > Cameraria ohridella larva.

From May until August the females lay their eggs along or near the lateral veins of the leaves on the upper epidermis. Forecasting Cameraria ohridella invasion dynamics in recently invaded countries: from validation to prediction ... and from then on all life stages were present right through to late September and October. De Prins. C. ohridella overwinters as a pupa in dry leaves. In most cases there are several mines in 1 leaf and from July onwards, some leaves are completely covered with mines causing premature defoliation. Very common in parks and lanes where Aesculus hippocastanum is planted, causing severe damage. This study was conducted to elucidate the life cycle and the ecological characteristics of Trachys yanoi Y. Kurosawa, an important pest of Zelkova serrata (Thunb.) There are three overlapping generations per year. After that, the species became spread all over the country and it is sometimes present in huge quantities and is now considered as a pest species. 561 0 obj <> endobj Wingspan c.8 mm. First instars make a very short, epidermal galery on the upperside of a leaf, abruptly widening into a semi-circular blotch, light brown, darker brown at its centre. The life cycle of the antlion begins with oviposition (egg-laying). It was first observed attacking ornamental horse-chestnut trees in Macedonia in the 1970s, then in Serbia in 1987 and Austria in 1989, from where it spread to most of Europe. The horse chestnut leaf miner Cameraria ohridella has spread widely throughout Europe since first being described as a new species in 1986. age-specific duplications of several miRNA genes including The second species chosen for deep sequencing of small miR-14, miR-2763, and miR-2796 of which only single RNAs was the Speckled Wood butterfly (Pa. aegeria), a copies exist in other Lepidoptera. Its larvae are leaf miners on the common horse-chestnut. The emergence of adults in spring occurs in April and May, depending on climatic conditions. Species.

The caterpillar hatches from a tiny egg, then spends its time eating and growing. Very rarely also other Aesculus species are infested, like Aesculus flava. 0000076111 00000 n This larval stage usually lasts from two weeks to about a month. The horse-chestnut leaf-mining moth is one of the threats to our horse-chestnut trees.It is a tiny moth about the size of a grain of rice. Adults occur from April to September. 0000005987 00000 n The eggs hatch 2 to 3 weeks later. Typical pattern of species in the genus Cameraria: the white transversal lines are bordered with black scales distally and not basally, as is the case in the genus Phyllonorycter. The horse-chestnut leaf miner overwinters in the pupal stage in a cocoon in dead leaves. Very common in parks and lanes where Aesculus hippocastanum is planted, causing severe damage. Eggs are placed separately on the upper surface of the leaf.

This species was relatively described very late (1986) from SE Europe from where it spread westwards at a speed of ca 200 km per year. cocoon inside the mine. Fertilized females lay up to 500 eggs. The horse-chestnut leafminer, Cameraria ohridella Deschka & Dimic, was discovered during a mass outbreak on planted horse-chestnut trees, Aesculus hippocastanum, near Lake Ohrid in Macedonia. The horse chestnut leaf miners have 5 mobile larval stages and 2 pre-pupal stages. There are usually three generations during summer, and, by August, the foliage may be extensively damaged, leading to early leaf fall. General information about Cameraria ohridella (LITHOD) Leafminer of horse chesnut which was first described near Lake Ohrid (FYR of Macedonia) in 1984, it then spread rapidly accross Europe.
