Moved from Unidentified Leaf Mines.

These are both empty. Maybe you can find leaf rolls on the same plant?

Is this one you would hope to rear--I think I can find it now that I know what it is--I am familiar with upper surface mines for this one, but these lower surface mines looked different--it's good to know these belong to the same species. If it is desirable, I can find it in leaf rolls.

It would be worth rearing
This ID is tentative; I'm not sure that the two mine types are from the same species, but I don't know of another option. There do seem to be some Caloptilia species that make variable mines that can be on either leaf surface, but there is no mention in the literature of mines like this on Ostrya.

I will be visiting the site tomorrow, with any luck. I'll look for leaf rolls then.
