Adult emerged
Unfortunately a female. Based on the mine it seems like it could be different from the others, although it pupated in the same way.

Moved
Moved from Unidentified Leaf Mines.

This one is definitely Ophiomyia; the puparium was formed within the leaf, on the lower surface, right at the base.

I don't think so
I've never seen L. eupatorii switch back and forth between leaf surfaces like this. At least one Ophiomyia does that; if that's what it is, the puparium will be in the leaf. Offhand I think the species that is known to do this is only known from Canada.
