Horse Chestnut leaf miner moth (Cameraria ohridella). This tiny insect is only about 5mm long but its larvae are responsible for almost completely defoliating massive horse chestnut trees. By August millions of the moths caterpillars will be munching away INSIDE the trees' leaves causing them to turn brown. The trees look like autumn has come early.
