Stigmella speciosa is a moth of the Nepticulidae family. It is found from Denmark to the Iberian Peninsula, Italy and Greece, and from Great Britain to Ukraine.[1]
The wingspan is 4–5 millimetres (0.16–0.20 in). Adults are on wing from May to August.[2]
The larvae feed on Acer monspessulanum, Acer obtusatum, Acer opalus, Acer pseudoplatanus and Acer sempervirens. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine consists of a full depth corridor which is variable in length and width.[3]
