Willow Bark Miner [=Marmara? salictella??] ID Request - Marmara salictella
Herring Run Park, Baltimore City County, Maryland, USA
October 21, 2014
Observed on a Salix sp.

I am really going out on a limb with this one! [Yes -- pun intended!] ; )

Is that little whitish comma-shaped object on the left side of the stem the larvae of this moth? If so, it would appear that it has an orange-ish colored head?

Moved from Unidentified Leaf Mines.
This is an old, abandoned mine. Not sure what that object is.
