Feeding and other inter-species relationships
Associated with POTAMOGETONACEAE:
| leaf (live) | live leaf is mined by larva | Hydrellia modesta - a shore fly (Diptera: Ephydridae) | 
|
Robbins, R., 1990 [shallow upper surface mine, in, or radiating from, petiole or midrib. Pupariates internally.] | |
 |
leaf (live) | live leaf is mined by larva (young) | Nymphula nymphaeata - Brown China-mark (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) |
|
Robbins, R., 1990 [a small full-depth blotch usually near the base of the leaf. The larva then window-feeds on the lower side of the leaf from a case, eventually making quite large patches.] |
|
leaf (live) | live leaf is grazed by mobile cased larva (later) | Nymphula nymphaeata - Brown China-mark (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) |
|
Robbins, R., 1990 [a small full-depth blotch usually near the base of the leaf. The larva then window-feeds on the lower side of the leaf from a case, eventually making quite large patches.] |
|
leaf (mid-rib) (live) | live leaf (mid-rib) is mined by larva (young) | Acentria nivea - Water Veneer (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) |
|
Robbins, R., 1990 [mines a short corridor in the petiole and midrib. The larva then feeds in a rolled-over leaf margin and finally in spun leaves beneath the water surface.] |
|
leaf margin (live) | live leaf margin is rolled by larva (middle) | Acentria nivea - Water Veneer (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) |
|
Robbins, R., 1990 [mines a short corridor in the petiole and midrib. The larva then feeds in a rolled-over leaf margin and finally in spun leaves beneath the water surface.] |
|
leaves (live, spun) | live, spun leaves are spun by larva (later) | Acentria nivea - Water Veneer (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) |
|
Robbins, R., 1990 [mines a short corridor in the petiole and midrib. The larva then feeds in a rolled-over leaf margin and finally in spun leaves beneath the water surface.] |
| midrib (live) | live midrib is mined by larva | Hydrellia modesta - a shore fly (Diptera: Ephydridae) |
|
Robbins, R., 1990 [shallow upper surface mine, in, or radiating from, petiole or midrib. Pupariates internally.] | |
| petiole (live) | live petiole is mined by larva | Hydrellia modesta - a shore fly (Diptera: Ephydridae) |
