Spiraea Miner

Notes: This species was reported in Viereck et al. (1916) from the village of “Mount Carmel” in Hamden (New Haven County) on 23 June 1902 and has since been detected in all counties except Windham. It has been found in an urban park, powerline ROW, sandplain remnants, coastal wildlife refuge, and a forest adjacent to a lake. While A. spiraeana is polylectic (Wood & Roberts 2018), LaBerge (1973) states this species seems to prefer flowers with small white or yellow clusters, and in Connecticut it has been collected from black cherry ( Prunus serotina ), meadowsweet ( Spiraea sp. ) and sumac ( Rhus sp. ).
