Stigmella on Post Oak - Stigmella
Shimek State Forest, Van Buren County, Iowa, USA
September 22, 2016

September 15, 2016: M. Leoschke collected this Dagger Moth larva on Post Oak, Quercus stellata.
He is always very good about collecting plenty of host plant which often includes other life. In this case Stigmella mines. A closer look at one of the mines showed a dead lep larva and 4 parasitoid larvae.
October 21, 2016: lep mine had 4 emergent holes but could only find 2 adult wasps

Other life associated with the Post Oak leaves:
