Swammerdamia passerella is a moth of the family Yponomeutidae. It is found in Great Britain, Fennoscandia, Poland, Estonia and northern Russia.[1]
The wingspan is 10–12 mm. Adults are on wing from June to July.[2]
The larvae feed on Betula nana. Young larvae mine the leaves of their host plant. Later, they live freely under a slight web.[3] Mining larvae can be found in June.
