Bucculatrix noltei is a moth in the Bucculatricidae family. It is found from Finland to Belgium, Italy and the Crimea and from the Netherlands to Central Russia.[1]
The wingspan is 5–6 mm.[2] The forewings are sandy brown, with both darker and lighter bands. Adults are on wing from April to May and again from July to August in two generations per year.[3]
The larvae feed on Artemisia vulgaris. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine starts as a slender corridor, mostly along the leaf margin. Here, there is a broad, continuous, reddish brown frass line. Later, the larva leaves the mine and lives freely on the leaf, creating fleck mines. Larvae can be found from June to October.[4] The species overwinters in the pupal stage.
