Stigmella obliquella is a moth of the family Nepticulidae which feeds on willow (Salix species) and can be found in Asia and Europe. It was first described by Hermann von Heinemann in 1862.
The wingspan is 4.6–6 mm. The head is orange, the collar yellow-white. Antennal eyecaps yellow-white. Forewings are coarse, dark brown basal to the yellowish cross fascia, apex black. Hindwings grey. Adults are on wing from April to May and again in August.
Laid on either side of a leaf of one of the smooth-leaved willows in May–June or August–September. [1]
The larva is amber-yellow with a brown head and has a faint chain of pear-shaped dark ventral spots. [2]
The larvae feed on Salix alba , Salix babylonica , Salix x chrysocoma, Salix fragilis , Salix pentandra , Salix triandra and Salix viminalis . They mine the leaves of their host plant feeding inside a widening corridor. Its course is variable, but generally it contains several long nearly straight segments.
Pupation takes place outside of the mine.
