Moved
Moved from Liriomyza.

Moved tentatively based on host plant in tribe Eupatorieae + mine starting out contorted / at leaf tip.

Moved
Moved from Leaf Miner Flies.

I remembered that I managed to rear the Prenanthes species. I just checked my notes, and it was a Liriomyza.

Moved
Moved from Unidentified Leaf Mines.

I found agromyzid larvae making very similar mines on Prenanthes this past June.

This one is weird
I hope you can find it again this spring. The frass makes me think maybe some kind of beetle, but I'm not sure.

 
Still puzzling over this one
Now's the time to look for them, apparently!
