Mine

See also bladmineerders.be
In autumn the mine begins as a brown, narrow and inconspicuous, lower-surface corridor. The larva is capable of leaving its mine and restarting elsewhere, possibly in another leaf. In April – May of the following spring a full depth transparent blotch is made, from which most frass is ejected. The mined leaf soon drops, which makes the mine even more difficult to detect.
