Elachista pomerana is a moth of the family Elachistidae found in Europe.
Description
The wingspan is 8–10 millimetres (0.31–0.39 in).
The larvae feed on common wild oat (Avena fatua), wood small-reed (Calamagrostis epigejos), floating sweet-grass (Glyceria fluitans), reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea) and common meadow-grass (Poa pratensis). The larvae create a mine which begins near the leaf tip and descends towards the base, occupying the entire width of the blade.[1] The pupation takes place outside of the mine.[2]
Distribution
It is found from Fennoscandia to the Alps and from Great Britain to Romania.[3]
