I have been regularly searching my Snowberry hedge for mines, without much success, only finding numerous short white vacated mines that I could not identify (below), hence I suspect they are not from a Symphoricarpus-specific species.
However I realised that I should have been looking on the underside of the leaf as well as the upper surface, and doing that yielded a single mine which I am pretty certain is Phyllonorycter emberizaepennella.Phyllonorycter emberizaepennella mine? Stowe 20-09-2024 |
I also found a couple of mines on a Crab-apple, one of which I think is a vacated mine of Lyonetia clerkella.

The second mine I have been unable to identify, so would appreciate some guidance! The leaf was curled up with the mine in the fold as below:
On opening it up I found a very small green larva
