Willow Mini-Miner

Notes: This northern species is not well known from Connecticut, having only 16 records (including the record in Ribble 1968) and four known collection events in Bethel (Fairfield County, 9 April 2005, n = 1), Danbury (Fairfield County, 24 April 2004, n = 10), Windsor (Hartford County, 21 May 1934, n = 1), and West Hartford (Hartford County, 1 May 1967, n = 3). Ten of the sixteen records were netted from its pollen host willow ( Salix sp. ; Ribble 1968, see also Ostaff et al. 2015; Mosseler et al. 2020), and one specimen was collected from maleberry ( Lyonia ligustrina ).
