Review (by Malcolm Storey) | Studies in Switzerland showed that the Horse Chestnut leaf-miner mined Sycamore leaves to a varying extent, some trees being more susceptible than others, but most Sycamores in the vicinity of infected Horse Chestnuts were attacked. Over 70% of the larvae in Sycamore died in the first two instars. |
