Here's another of the 'green island' species. It's Ectoedemia argyropeza and the foodplant is aspen. The larva mines up the stalk then into the leaf itself. As there are no previous VC5 records I was quite surprised to find it beneath a lone tree by the Tone, west of Taunton. I think it's probably overlooked and planted trees are also worth checking. Just look on the ground, the green patches stand out amongst all the yellow leaves.
