Is this mine a Coptodisca min
Is this mine a Coptodisca mine? I thought it looked like Parornix, although I know that the first photo in the series with the cocoon is Coptodisca... I am not sure why I grouped all of these together, but was I right to group them together?

 
Hmm
I can't tell for sure; I had only looked at the first photo when I moved these. I have only found a single Parornix mine on Gaylussacia (baccata), and it isn't a known host for Parornix, so any possible Parornix mines on this host are worth collecting if still occupied.
