Phyllonorycter Acerifoliella
''Phyllonorycter acerifoliella'' is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is found from Sweden to the Pyrenees, Italy, Albania and Bulgaria, and from Great Britain to southern Russia. The wingspan is about 8 mm. Adults are on wing in May and August in two generations in western Europe. The larvae feed on field maple (''Acer campestre'') and Tatar maple ('' Acer tataricum''), mining Mining is the extraction of valuable minerals or other geological materials from the Earth, usually from an ore body, lode, vein, seam, reef, or placer deposit. The exploitation of these deposits for raw material is based on the economic via ... the leaves of their host plant. They create a relatively small, lower surface tentiform mine which is often located under a leaf segment. During development, the mine contracts and this segment usually folds down, covering the mine. The pupa is dark (black to brown) and made in a cocoon that is attached to the floor of the mine.

Gracillariidae
Gracillariidae is an important family of insects in the order Lepidoptera and the principal family of leaf miners that includes several economic, horticultural or recently invasive pest species such as the horse-chestnut leaf miner, ''Cameraria ohridella''. Taxonomy and systematics There are 98 described genera of Gracillariidae (see below). A complete checklist is available of all currently recognised species. There are many undescribed species in the tropics but there is also an online catalogue of Afrotropical described speci the South African fauna is quite well known. Although Japanese and Russian authors have recognised additional subfamilies, there are three currently recognised subfamilies, Phyllocnistinae of which is likely to be basal. In this subfamily, the primitive genus ''Prophyllocnistis'' from Chile feeds on the plant genus '' Drimys'' (Winteraceae), and has leaf mines structurally similar in structure to fossils (see "Fossils").
