Stigmella lapponica is a moth of the Nepticulidae family. It is found in most of Europe (except the Balkan Peninsula and the Mediterranean Islands), east to the eastern part of the Palearctic ecozone.[1]
The wingspan is 5–7 mm. Adults are on wing in May. There is one generation per year.[2]
The larvae feed on Betula humilis, Betula nana, Betula pendula and Betula pubescens (including Betula pubescens carpatica). They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine consists of a slender corridor that hardly widens. The first part is filled with frass. The mine mostly follows a vein over a long distance, but the larva is capable of crossing thick veins, even the midrib.[3]
