LEAF BLOTCH MINER MOTH ACROCERCOPS BRONGNIARDELLA IS A POORLY STUDIED INVASIVE SPECIES IN RUSSIA

Abstract: the data on leaf blotch miner moth Acrocercops brongniardella are given, based on articles describing observations of these particular species on the territory of Russia, and on the basis of monitoring the city of St. Petersburg. For all the sites described, the miner is an invasive species, which makes studying the dynamics of its population characteristics interesting. Various results of its introduction into new habitats were noted, for example, in some territories the species gives outbreaks of mass reproduction, being one of the main pests of oaks, in others, after settling, it remains underrepresented and is extremely rare.
