Damage caused by Nemorimyza maculosa: A) Feeding/oviposition punctures on leaf surface by adult B) Meandering leaf mine on the left side of a chrysanthemum leaf and the older expanded blotch mine on the right and C) Expanded blotch mine on lettuce (Sources: Luke Smith, iNaturalist (A), Antonio D. González Hernández, Dept. of Agriculture of the Government of the Canary Islands (B, C)).

A faded blotchy bramble leaf with a silvery white trail pattern on the leaf, which is an old vacated mine of a Stigmella moth which developed within the leaf; with a lightly blurred green and grey background

Checking Broom for miners, an old mine with very dead dedicated larva. Trifucula immundella the most likely I guess, but need to find an egg. Not found it yet! Any of the Broom miners would be new baggeridge record, need to find a live one 😊 #teammoth #leafminers
Some attractive leaf mines seen today in the Yare Valley.
A Beech leaf with Stigmella tityrella and Phyllonorycter messaniella mines. A Hazel leaf with what I believe is a Stigmella microtheriella mine.

A combination photo showing two species of beetles, each displayed in both dorsal (top) and ventral (bottom) views. The top pair features a beetle with a smooth, shiny golden-brown exoskeleton and a rounded body, while the bottom pair shows a beetle with a darker reddish-brown coloration and a slightly rougher texture. The ventral views reveal detailed leg structures and body segmentation.
A study of Japanese leaf-mining Chrysomeloidea found 64 species, each intricately associated with specific host plants, including two new to science: doi.org/10.3897/zook....

Glossy green leaves of Cowberry, with dark purple-brown blotches on many of them. Surrounded by other dwarf shrubs, with brownish Heather, red-stemmed Crowberry with whorls of green, needle-like leaves, and occasional bare green stems of Bilberry
The underside of a Cowberry leaf, pale green and obovate in shape, with purple-grown blotches, picked and sat on the palm of a man’s hand
Anyone know what’s responsible for this purple blotching on this Cowberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea)? My 1st thought was a fungus, but now I’m wondering if it might be a leaf miner moth like Fomoria weaveri? Help please!

Around 50 Stigmella aurella mines counted at #WyverLaneNR @richardttaylor.bsky.social @belperbirder.bsky.social @cliveaderbys.bsky.social @danmartinwildlife.bsky.social @spinneybirder.bsky.social @chrisjacksonlrps.bsky.social #TeamMoth #Leafminers
A few more leafminer highlights from 2024 at #WyverLaneNR Phyllocnistis unipunctella, Stigmella tiliae, Stigmella plagicolella and Stigmella salicis #leafminers @belperbirder.bsky.social @danmartinwildlife.bsky.social @richardttaylor.bsky.social @cliveaderbys.bsky.social #TeamMoth
Steadily increasing the leafmine species count at #WyverLaneNR with Stigmella perpygmaeella from the 1st of September, a site first and also a county first for VC57 #TeamMoth @belperbirder.bsky.social @richardttaylor.bsky.social @cliveaderbys.bsky.social @danmartinwildlife.bsky.social #leafminers
My first attempt at looking for leaf miners didn’t extent beyond the garden but found one. What I think is Stigmella microtheriella although happy to be corrected #teammoth #moth #mothsmatter #mothhunt #leafminers #nature @britishnatureguide.bsky.social
2/2 a 5th species was on Spearmint growing under a garden fence into the street - Phytomyza petoei which I had not seen for some time. #LeafMiners
Leafmine of Phytomyza ranunculi in Ranunculus
Leafmine of Phytomyza chaerophylli in Cow Parsley leaf
Geranium leaf backlit with mine of Agromyza nigrescens
Leaf of Ground Ivy backlit with mine of Phytomyza glechomae
1/2 Agromyzidae Leafmines from vc30 on Saturday afternoon.
Still to be found on the last day in November were Phytomyza ranunculi in Ranunculus, Phytomyza chaerophylli in Cow Parsley, Agromyza nigrescens in Geranium and Phytomyza glechomae in Ground Ivy #LeafMiners
Leafmine of Ectoedemia rubivora in a Rubus leaf probably Dewberry. Lit from behind
Several tiny leafmines of Bucculatrix frangutella in a Buckthorn leaf
A Buckthorn leaf still green on the tree with 2 Leafmines of Bucculatrix frangutella
Two lep mine seen local to me in Beds vc30 on Saturday afternoon were Ectoedemia rubivora in a Rubus prob Dewberry and several miles of Bucculatrix frangutella in Purging Buckthorn #LeafMiners #TeamMoth
Phytomyza agromyzina mine I think on Cornus last week in north Suffolk.

A surprise find this afternoon was another Bedfordshire Phillyreae latifolia with plenty of mines of the Agromyzidae fly Phytomyza Phillyreae which Melissa and I discovered new to the UK and Northern Europe in Bedfordshire a few years back. #Flies #Leafminers
