euxoa is a very large genus with many similar species , many of which are also quite variable . the genus is defined by a saccular extension of the valves in males and sclerotized plates on the dorsal and ventral ductus bursae in females . the genus was revised by lafontaine ( 1987 ) in the moths of north america series and is divided into eight subgenera based on structural characters . these moths are amongst the most difficult to identify . even though the forewing color and strength of various markings can vary significantly in some of the species , the shape of the lines and spots and the color of the hindwings ( often different in the sexes ) are more constant . the habitat and flight period are also important in helping to narrow the possibilities .

scydosella is a genus of beetles that consists of only one species scydosella musawasensis .

the species is regarded as the smallest free-living insect , as well as the smallest beetle .

they are among featherwing beetle , named because of their feather-like spiny wings .

it was first discovered in nicaragua , and described in 1999 by wesley eugene hall of the university of nebraska state museum .

the initial discovery consisted of very few specimens , and exact measurements were not conclusive .

because of their tiny size , they were difficult to observe under microscope after preservation .

the generally accepted size was 0.300 mm in length .

on 8 february 2015 , alexey polilov of the lomonosov moscow state university collected 85 specimens in chicaque national park , colombia .

they were discovered on a layer of fungus on which they feed .

from these specimens exact measurements could be made , and was found that the smallest individual is only 0.325 mm long .

the largest individual is 0.352 mm long , and the average length of all the specimens is 0.338 mm .

the body is elongated and oval in shape , yellowish-brown in colour , and its antennae are split into 10 segments .

scydosella

this tiny insect , scientifically known as scydosella musawasensis , is the only species in the featherwing beetle genus scydosella .
according to a new study published online this week in the journal zookeys , the smallest examined representative of scydosella musawasensis has a length of 0 . 325 mm .
habitus and diagnostic characters of scydosella musawasensis , sem : a dorsal view b lateral view c ventral view d antenna c mouthparts f pygidial tooth g mesosternal process .
“the record of scydosella musawasensis in colombia considerably broadens the known range of this genus and species , known previously only from one site in nicaragua , ” dr polilov wrote .
“this record also broadens the known range of fungi colonized by scydosella musawasensis , which was known previously only from rigidoporus lineatus . i have collected it on steccherinum sp . ”
the smallest known beetle scydosella musawasensis hall is recorded for the second time . precise measurements of its body size are given , and it is shown that the smallest examined representative of this species has a length of 325 µm .
this trend towards fusion into fewer , separate parts affects many organ systems . microinsects like scydosella lack the crops and gizzards present in larger insects , and may also lose the muscles that typically line the esophagus and intestines . the circulatory system in microinsects is basically reduced to nothing more than a simple heart and a short aorta , with scydosella losing those organs entirely . those microinsects with wings suffer from weakly developed veins , which poses a huge problem for flight performance .
the world ' s smallest beetle and tiniest non - parasitoid insect , called scydosella musawasensis , is morphologically characterised by its elongated oval body , yellowish - brown colouration and antennae split into 10 segments . it is also the only representative of this featherwing beetle genus .
the record of scydosella musawasensis in colombia considerably broadens the known range of this genus and species , known previously only from one site in nicaragua ( hall 1999 ) , where the type series was collected : musawas , waspuc river , nicaragua , 14 october 1955 . this record also broadens the known range of fungi colonized by scydosella musawasensis , which was known previously only from rigidoporus lineatus ( meripilaceae , given as polyporus zonalis in the original description ) ( hall 1999 ) ; i have collected it on steccherinum sp . ( meruliaceae ) .

“measuring of ten specimens of scydosella musawasensis has shown that the smallest of them has a length of 0 . 325 mm , the largest has a length of 0 . 352 mm , and the average length is 0 . 338 mm . the body width is 0 . 098 to 0 . 104 mm , ” dr polilov wrote in the zookeys paper .
now that we’ve covered why insects have to be small , the next reasonable question is what keeps them from shrinking even smaller than scydosella ? the problem is that multicellular organisms must make a lot of sacrifices to fit all those structures and organs into such a tiny body . miniaturization in metazoans is actually polilov’s main research interest , and he discussed the unique effects of shrinking on structure and physiology in a paper published earlier this year .
entomologists have declared scydosella musawasensis to be the world’s smallest free - living insect . s . musawasensis , a featherwing beetle , can be as small as 0 . 325 millimeters ( as tiny as certain unicellular organisms ) . alexey polilov of lomonosov moscow state university collected 85 of the beetles from colombia , and his measurements of the tiny specimens confirm their ranking as the world’s tiniest free - living insects . in order to even measure such a tiny organism , polilov had to use a scanning electron microscope with specialized software .
adults of scydosella musawasensis hall , 1999 were collected in chicaque national park , colombia , 10 km west of bogotá , on 8 february 2015 ( coordinates 4 . 619 , - 74 . 312 ) , 2200 m above sea level , on the fungus steccherinum sp . ( meruliaceae ) , 85 specimens . the material was fixed in faa ( formaldehyde—alcohol—acetic acid ) and preserved in 70 % ethanol . it was subsequently examined under a jeol jsm - 6380 scanning electron microscope ( sem ) after drying of the specimens at the critical point ( hitachi hcp - 2 ) and sputter coating with gold ( giko jsm - 6380 ) . the measurements were made using the program meazure ( c thing software ) from digital micrographs obtained under sem .
the smallest known beetle – and the smallest non - parasitoid insect – has a body length of 0 . 325 mm , according to entomologist dr alexey polilov of lomonosov university .
it’s morphologically characterised by its elongated oval body , yellowish - brown coloration and antennae split into ten segments .
“not able to precisely measure its size because of the preserved nicaraguan specimens being embedded in preparations for microscopy studies , i used new individuals , collected in chicaque national park , colombia in early 2015 , ” dr polilov explained .
the measurements were made using specialized software from digital micrographs obtained under a scanning electron microscope .
“thus , the smallest beetle and smallest known non - parasitoid insect has a body length of 0 . 325 mm . ”
the size of the smallest known parasitoid insect , male dicopomorpha echmepterygis ( a parasitic wasp in the family mymaridae ) , is 0 . 139 mm .

the long - lasting search and debate around the size and identity of the world ' s smallest free - living insect seems to have now been ended with the precise measurement and second record of the featherwing beetle species .
described back in 1999 based on only several specimens found in nicaragua , as many as 85 individuals of the minute beetle species have recently been retrieved from colombia and thoroughly examined . the smallest of them measured the astounding 0 . 325 mm . the finding made by dr . alexey polilov , lomonosov moscow state university moscow , is available in the open access journal zookeys .
not able to precisely measure its size because of the preserved specimens being embedded in preparations for microscopy studies , dr . polilov used new individuals , collected in chicaque national park , colombia in early 2015 . to conclude the length of the smallest one as 325 µm ( 0 . 325 mm ) the scientist used a specialised software and digital micrographs .

why are insects in general so small ? evolution favors small insects for two reasons . the first is their unique respiratory systems ; insects use tubes called trachea that must extend throughout their bodies to deliver oxygen and remove carbon dioxide . the larger the insect , the more space these trachea have to take up to satisfy their increased oxygen demand .
the second constraint on giant insects comes from their chitinous exoskeletons . while this tough outer shell grants insects protection and structure , it also keeps them from growing too large . molting and growing an entirely new coat is an incredibly exhaustive process . as the insect grows larger , it also needs a thicker exoskeleton that would eventually become too heavy to support .
the principle of organs scaling down as the body shrinks is called “allometry . ” microinsects achieve their tiny size through allometry as well as simplifying or entirely eliminating structures . for example , their chitinous exoskeleton constrains their morphology at both ends of the size spectrum . in exchange for smaller size , microinsects give up the thicker protection enjoyed by larger insects . the exoskeleton also becomes less complex and articulate , and the fusion of elements and segments makes the insect less flexible than its larger relatives .
perhaps the most dramatic consequences of miniaturization occur in the nervous system . when forced to fit into such a tiny volume , neurons are reduced in both size and number and must pack together more tightly . the result ? greater noise and interference with the transmission of signals between cells . this also creates an exceptionally dense demand for energy , while leaving less room in each nerve cell for mitochondria , the intracellular structures that provide that energy . microinsects try to get around these handicaps by expanding and contorting their nerves to fit every nook and cranny , but this comes at the expense of other organ systems .
of course , the reproductive system gets top priority . while everything else dwindles , gonads must remain disproportionately large to maintain their function . in particular , females devote a significant portion of their body size to producing a large enough egg for viable offspring . some species of microinsects even produce sperm that are longer than the male’s entire body .
based on these observations , the miniaturization of insects is likely limited by the space required for the most crucial structures in the nervous and reproductive systems . while smaller size certainly gives these insects great advantages in conserving energy and avoiding predators , it also comes with a host of complications . like many things in life , it looks like moderation is key .

cosmopterix lienigiella is a moth of the cosmopterigidae family .

it is found from fennoscandia to spain , the alps and greece and from ireland to ukraine .

it is also present in eastern russia and japan .

it is the type species of the cosmopterix genus .

the wingspan is 10 – 13 mm .

adults are on wing from september to april .

the larvae feed on phragmites australis .

they mine the leaves of their host plant .

the mine starts as a gallery , but soon widens to a broad blotch , entirely or partly running upwards , in the end half as wide as the leaf .

most frass is concentrated in the first section .

pupation takes place in a cocoon in the top section of the mine .

leaf - miner : makes an elongate mine with frass heaped at the start and then dispersed thoughout . it does not make a silken shelter and so may be seen in the mine ( british leafminers ) .
at first a gallery , but soon widened to a broad blotch , entirely or partly running upwards , in the end half as wide as the leaf . the mine is widened without consideration for the length veins , making the mine less sharply delineated than in c . scribaiella . most frass in the first section , but higher up still some scattered frass visible . unlike c . scribaiella the larva does not spin a shelter for retreat in the mine ; this makes the larva easily visible in the unopened mine . cocoon in the top section of the mine . the pupa lies head - upwards , just below an opening that has been prepared as an exit for the later moth ( bladmineerders van europa ) .
larva : the larvae of moths have a head capsule and chewing mouthparts with opposable mandibles ( see video of a gracillarid larva feeding ) , six thoracic legs and abdominal legs ( see examples ) .
pupa : the pupae of moths have visible head appendages , wings and legs which lie in sheaths ( see examples ) .
adult : the adult is illustrated in ukmoths by alan drewitt . the species is included in urltoken .
distribution in great britain and ireland : britain including cambridgeshire , dorset , east kent , east norfolk , east suffolk , huntingdonshire , isle of wight , north essex , north hampshire , north somerset , south devon , south essex , south hampshire and west norfolk ( nbn atlas ) .
found in large reed beds in fresh and brackish water . found in southern england and norfolk and suffolk ( british leafminers ) .
also recorded in the republic of ireland ( karsholt and van nieukerken in fauna europaea ) . see also ireland ' s nbdc interactive map .
