Common in hedgerows, gardens and orchards throughout much of the British Isles. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight common and widespread. Wingspan 8-9 mm. Larva mines leaves of Hawthorn, Apple, Wild Cherry, Bird Cherry, Birch, Cotoneaster and Rowan, causing sufficient damage to be a serious pest in some areas and can occasionally reach levels where localised economic damage is possible to fruit trees in Britain.
