Willow Leafminer : Micruapteryx salcifoliella (Willow Leafblotch Miner)

Description

The willow leafminer (Micruapteryx salcifoliella) is a small gray moth native to North America. The caterpillars of this moth feed on willow leaves periodically causing extensive damage to willow stands in the province. In 2011, an inter-provincial outbreak of this insect damaged vast tracks of willow stands in Alberta. This brochure provides more information on the insect and how to recognize and control the damage caused by the caterpillar.
