Moved from Unidentified Leaf Mines.

Do you happen to have a photo of the mine when it was fresh? I'm a little puzzled by both the mine and the adult. The mine is torn open by the folds the larva made in the upper epidermis, so I'm not sure if there was ever frass inside. The short, dark markings on the wings don't look like anything I've ever seen on a Coptotriche, and I'm having trouble determining whether the color is actually this pale or if scales have rubbed off to make it that way--I haven't taken it out of the gel capsule yet, so hopefully that at least will become clear when I get a better look.

Hopefully I can figure this one out

when I see the mine it came from.
