Moved
Moved from unidentified eastern oak-feeding spp..

The mine is basically similar to the one you collected two days earlier on the same host (#220), from which I reared this moth:

One difference is that in this moth's mine, the frass was scattered around the periphery--it seems to be centrally deposited in your backlit shot of the mine above--but that might have something to do with the larva's having repaired the tear in the lower epidermis at the middle of the mine.
