Have you found any more of these?
I didn't reach a definite conclusion from the dried leaves you sent, but I'm still leaning toward L. schmidti.

I admit I haven't looked hard
I admit I haven't looked hard, but I can try to look for them again (I know the critters will not be in them now). I did look a little bit for them in the place where I had found them last year, and did not see anything. But I did not spend a lot of time exhaustively looking.

Is there any sign of a cocoon at the end of the mines?
I wonder if this could be Liriomyza schmidti. I'd like to take a look at these.
