BioInfo (UK) is programmatically built from a 4th Dimension (4D) Database. The site was rebuilt more or less annually, or when sufficient changes and new relationships had accumulated, but in recent years I've not done much work on it, so the updates have become much less frequent.
These days there are numerous other sites with similar content and better presentation, such as
Plant Parasites of Europe: https://bladmineerders.nl/
The leaf and stem mines of British flies and other insects: http://www.ukflymines.co.uk/index.php
british leafminers: http://www.leafmines.co.uk/
So I probably won't be renewing BioInfo when it comes up for renewal in November 2028, but full functionality will still be accessible via BioImages, eg https://www.bioimages.org.uk/bioinfohtml/html/Lepidoptera.htm/

(*) The number of trophisms counts each entry (eg stages, relationships, parts and states of host etc) separately. It also counts both species in a relationship separately, except species which are not recorded in our area where only the resident partner is counted.
