Distinctive leaf mine pattern on a Holly leaf: Phytomyza ilicis, is a small fly that lays its eggs inside the holly leaves, the larvae live and feed entirely within holly leaves only; the early stage of the trail is a pale colour, then developing a brown centre as the larva grows and a small black exit hole marks the emergence of the adult fly

Leaf mines on #Holly - Phytomyza ilicis, a small #fly lays its eggs inside the leaves & the larvae feed within the leaves; the trail develops as the larva grows and as can be seen clearly on the right, an exit hole marks the emergence of the adult fly

Stigmella naturnella was discovered only recently in the low countries (nl.pensoft.net/article/99360/) but in my region (Ghent, Belgium) it already seems to be the most common birch #leafminer. It probably spread naturally from S Central Europe. Here's how the mines look.

Leaf mines on Burdock (Arctium) spotted by a gate into a field off our High Weald lane around sunset last night. I think a larvae of one of the Phytomyza flies (Phytomyza lappae).

Some common leaf mining activity: Phytomyza larvae (either P. spondylii or P. pastinacea) feeding trails on Hogweed easily spotted on a walk along our High Weald lane.

Does anyone have a budget-conscuous way to organically rid Dahlias of leaf miners that burrow btwn my leaves,laid eggs, and their larvae are feeding?

An early evening walk down our High Weald lane and I noticed a hedgerow Hazel with leaf mines leaves, the activity of larvae of one of the Phyllonorycter moths.

#gardening #leafminer #arborvitae Our 6 year old arborvitae had this light brown patch of something on it. Cut it out, bird’s nest in back but pretty sure it’s leaf miner😠

Which Tomato Plant is Compatible with Which Natural Antagonist of the Tomato Leafminer? - Agrarforschung Schweiz Agroscope researchers tested three natural antagonists of the tomato leafminer on six tomato genotypes. Of the three genotypes displaying a degree of resistance, two were found to be compatible with the natural enemies of the pest.

#SwissAgriculturalResearch - The combination of host-plant resistance with #BiologicalControl methods represents a promising strategy for the sustainable management of the #tomato #leafminer.

Checking out some Purple Toadflax growing along a path yesterday (for possible Toadflax brocade moth larvae) & noticed this leaf mine on it.Online ID suggests a fly species #leafminer

A blotchy mine on the leaf of a lilac.

Six tiny transparent moth larvae feeding in the mine.

The mine and larvae of the Lilac Leafminer Moth (Gracillaria syringella). Native to Europe, but widely established in North America. The tiny transparent larvae are so cute!

A green leaf of Poison Ivy with a linear blotch mine.

For #MothMonday I give you the leaf mine of the Poison Ivy Leaf-miner Moth. As its name suggests, the larvae live in and mine the insides of Poison Ivy (Toxicodendron) leaves, clearly unaffected by the oil that so irritates human skin. The mines are relatively […]

More moth mines - my first ever Phyllonorycter rajella mine on Alder & my first Stigmella tiliae mine (on Lime) in Devon. Only 2 records of each last year in the Devon Moth Group annual report. @WillLangdon12 #leafminer
