The Olive Moth (''Prays oleae'') is a moth of the Yponomeutidae family. It is found in Southern Europe (the Mediterranean Region) and North Africa. The wingspan is 11–15 mm. The larvae are a pest on ''Olea europaea''. Other recorded foodplants include ''Phillyrea'', Jasmine and ''Ligustrum''. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine initially consists of an upper-surface, short, narrow corridor. Later, in early spring, it may abandon this mine and create an irregular full depth blotch elsewhere on the leaf, or it may continue the corridor into a blotch. Most frass is ejected through a hole in the mine. Part of this frass is captured in spinning at the leaf underside.〔(bladmineerders.nl )〕 ==Gallery== Image:Prays_oleae_1.jpg|Leafmines by ''Prays oleae'' larvae Image:Prays_oleae_3.jpg|Larva Image:Prays_fraxinella_young_larva.JPG|Young larva Image:Prays_oleae_larva.JPG|Older larva Image:Prays oleae damage.JPG|Olive leaves mined by the young larva (2b, 2b *); olive shoot eaten by the mature larva (2b * *) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Prays oleae」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
