Leafminer  

LeafminerPrimary leafminer (Order Diptera, Family Agromyzidae) injury is from the larvae feeding within leaves, making a narrow winding trail, or mine. Larval mines disfigure ornamental plants and vegetable plants may have reduced yields if populations are high. During heavy infestations, larvae may produce leaf mines in flowers. Adult leafminer flies puncture leaves for feeding and egg-laying, and the small white spots will indicate leafminer activity. Leafminers have a very wide host plant range.

Leafminers develop from egg to adult in 14 days (95°F, 35°C) to 64 days (59°F, 15°C). Other species have different lower and upper limits for development, but development trends are similar. The developmental stages are egg, larva (three instars), and pupa (depending on the species, this stage may occur on or off the plant). Leafminers generally do best when plants are high
in nitrogen.
