Tischeria ekebladella is a moth of the family Tischeriidae. It is found in most of Europe and the Caucasus.
The wingspan is 8–11 mm. The forewings are deep ochreous yellow, suffusedly irrorated with fuscous towards the costa posteriorly and apex. Hindwings rather dark grey. Closely resembles Tischeria dodonea . Certain identification requires examination of a genitalia preparation. [1] [2] [3]
Adults are on wing from May to June depending on the location.
The larvae feed on Castanea mollissima , C. sativa , Quercus cerris , Q. dalechampii , Q. faginea , Q. frainetto , Q. macranthera , Q. macrocarpa , Q. macrolepis , Q. pedunculiflora , Q. petraea , Q. pubescens , Q. robur , Q. rubra and Q. serrata × turneri. They mine the leaves of their host plant.
Quercus robur, the pedunculate oak or English oak, is a species of flowering plant in the beech and oak family, Fagaceae. It is a large tree, native to most of Europe and western Asia, and is widely cultivated in other temperate regions. It grows on soils of near neutral acidity in the lowlands and is notable for its value to natural ecosystems, supporting a very wide diversity of herbivorous insects and other pests, predators and pathogens.
Quercus petraea, commonly known as the sessile oak, Cornish oak, Irish oak or durmast oak, is a species of oak tree native to most of Europe and into Anatolia and Iran. The sessile oak is the national tree of Ireland, and an unofficial emblem in Wales and Cornwall.
