Was at the local indoor tropical garden and noticed extensive leafmining activity on a shrub labeled as Scarlet Bush (Hamelia patens), a species and genus that does not occur in Canada in the wild.
@ceiseman what miners are known from Hamelia? Sorry for the poor quality pics. Generally blotchy mines often with a oval hole punch.
In this comprehensive article, we will dive into pests that commonly afflict houseplants, from tiny aphids to stubborn spider mites, providing you with organic, natural strategies and easy to understand tips to identify, prevent, and eradicate these nuisances. Get ready to reclaim your indoor oasis and have a pest-free environment in your home again! According
The green part of this oak leaf didnβt get the βautumn memoβ because of the activity of Ectoedemia heringi leaf miners.
The miner blocks off the chlorophyll return valves in the leaf with the help of some bacteria, extending the growing season for the larva π

Cyanotype can reveal beautiful detail. The 'grain' is, with the right subject, very fine indeed.
This is a rose leaf. It has been 'scarred' by the visit of a leaf miner.
Physical scars act as mnemonics etched on our bodies, which remind us of certain events.
A scar means we survived and, physically, healed.
What happens to the memory? Does it fade with the scar?
