Leaf Blotch Mine ID Request - Bedellia somnulentella

Leaf Blotch Mine ID Request - Bedellia somnulentella
Herring Run Watershed, Baltimore City County, Maryland, USA
July 18, 2013
Observed on a wild Morning Glory (or related) sp.

Notice the yellow-orange-ish larva in the left-hand mine.

Just noticed a linear leaf mine...
...with a line of frass in the upper right lobe of this leaf, along the edge. Is that related to the Bedellia larvae, or something else?

Early instars make linear mines with a central frass line; later instars make blotches and expel the frass through the lower epidermis.
