Bucculatrix clavenae is a moth in the family Bucculatricidae. It was described by Josef Wilhelm Klimesch in 1950. It is found in the Alps.[1]
There is probably one generation per year.
The larvae feed on and Achillea millefolium. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine starts as a fine corridor, with a central frass line. Older larvae live freely on the leaf, creating fleck mines. Pupation takes place in a white, spindle-shaped cocoon. Larvae can be found from June to July. The species overwinters as an egg or in the larval stage.[2]
