Moved from Unidentified Leaf Mines.

Most likely hosts are Asteraceae and trees.

There are white oak trees far
There are white oak trees far overhead, Ostrya virginiana trees lower down, and a few shrubs like Viburnum (rafinesqueanum), seedling Pinus taeda, Dicanthelium, and a few other small things--my best guess is that it's from the Quercus alba... seems far to travel, but with silk, much is possible...
