Leaf Miner Fly
Ackworth, Warren County, Iowa, USA
July 14, 2009
Size: mine ~4 cm long
Leaf mine on poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans) in grassy old field. Having learned from several previous IDs provided by Charley Eiseman of similar-looking mines, I suspect this to be the work of agromyzid fly larvae. This photo is close-up of mine on the upper leaflet surface.
