Argyresthia abdominalis is a moth of the Yponomeutidae family. It is found in most of Europe, except Ireland, the Iberian Peninsula, Slovenia, Greece, Ukraine and Lithuania.[1]
The larvae feed on Juniperus communis. A single larva mines out several leaves, feeding from the base to the tip. It migrates to the next leaf using a short corridor in the bark of the twig. Pupation takes place outside of the mine in a spinning on the twig.[3] The larvae have an orange brown to spotted reddish brown body and a black head. They can be found from March to April.
