Antispilina ludwigi is a moth of the Heliozelidae family. It is found in Germany , Poland and the Czech Republic.[1]
The larvae feed on Persicaria bistorta. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine starts as a full depth blotch, which develops in all directions. There are mostly several of these blotches in a single leaf. The frass is granular and blackish green in colour. It is deposited in the middle of the mine. Full-grown larvae make a round or oval excision which they use to leave the mine by dropping to the ground, where pupation takes place.[2] Larvae can be found in July.
