Mina causada por Cosmopterix zieglerella

Cosmopterix es un género numeroso de polillas de la familia Cosmopterigidae.[2]​

## Descripción

[editar]

### Adulto

[editar]

Son polillas pequeñas con alas de 3 a 6,5 mm de largo. La cabeza tiene escamas suaves.

## Biología

[editar]

Las larvas son minadores de hojas de una gran diversidad de plantas herbáceas de las familias Asteraceae, Cannabaceae, Convolvulaceae, Cyperaceae, Poaceae, Fabaceae, Urticaceae. Algunas especies se especializan en unas pocas especies o una sola especie.

En alguna especies las larvas se trasladan a otra mina, lo cual no es común entre minadores que en general completan su desarrollo en una sola mina. En algunas especies la larva construye un túnel de seda dentro de la mina donde se oculta para descansar o cuando se ve en peligro.

En climas más fríos las especies tienen una sola generación por año, y pasan el invierno en estadio larvario dentro de un capullo o fuera de la mina. La pupa se forma en la primavera. En climas más templados puede haber más de una generación, que se superponen.

En los adultos de Cosmopterix gomezpompai se ha observado un movimiento de rotación. La larva va a la superficie superior de la hoja y hace movimientos circulares. Cuando se pone en contacto con algo desusado, el movimiento se hace más lento y se concentra en ese punto. Parece que se alimenta de manchas oscuras, tal vez feces de aves en las hojas. Parecería que se trata de un comportamiento de búsqueda de alimento. Este comportamiento también se ha observado en Cosmopterix pulchrimella en Grecia, pero no relacionado con alimentación. También en Cosmopterix victor.

Cosmopterix sibirica.
