leaf mine - Liriomyza
Cross Plains, Dane County, Wisconsin, USA
June 24, 2011
This plant had several leaf mines on it. Plant identified as White Snakeroot (Ageratina altissima) so that probably means that these mines were made by Liriomyza eupatoriella. (Thanks to the information and photos in [cite:483134,338].)

leaf mine
Yes, I'm attempting to raise some this year for the first time. I'm not sure how it will work out yet. If you can see the larva inside the mine, there's a pretty good chance it will emerge from the mine. After that I'm just experimenting at the moment.

Please keep trying with these linear Ageratina mines
See comment here:

I think you may have this one identified correctly, based on the close-up, but it would be great to have mine photos linked to reared adults so we can sort these out with certainty.

Yes, I'm really looking forward to late spring around here and the new growth and a chance to get out a take more photos. So far it's been a very long, long winter...
