Colin PurringtonIf you live in Ontario and like leaf miners, Charley Eiseman would be grateful for pics of ones living on ornamental geraniums. He'd be extra happy if you'd collect the leaves and rear the larvae into adulthood (it's fun). Details in link.

David Michael SelfThis is <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/ragweed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ragweed</a>, most likely /#Ambrosia artemisi...(something)/, from the <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/sunflower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sunflower</a> family.It is native to the Americas, invasive in Europe, Asia, and Africa. It competes with modern food crops, reducing yield, but is itself very nutritious as greens or seeds, used as both food and medicine by native peoples.Everyone hates ragweed, but I grow it on purpose in my native plant gardens, and also as a trap plant to draw <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/leafminers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#leafminers</a> away from my <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/pepper" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pepper</a> plants.<a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gardening</a> with <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/weeds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#weeds</a>

dandelionGarlic Mustard (Alliaria petiolata) provides for many insects from native bees to parasitic flies that followed the Europeans to North America. Unfortunately, it's a highly invasive plant that has the potential to destroy native plant communities.<a href="https://dresden.network/tags/InvasivePlants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InvasivePlants</a> <a href="https://dresden.network/tags/Pollinators" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pollinators</a> <a href="https://dresden.network/tags/LeafMiners" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LeafMiners</a> <a href="https://dresden.network/tags/GreatPlains" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GreatPlains</a>

dandelionZum <a href="https://dresden.network/tags/InsektenSamstag" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InsektenSamstag</a> heute die Spuren verschiedener minierender Insekten. Die Larven dieser Motten, Fliegen und Käfer fressen Gänge in die inneren Gewebe von Laubblättern und bleiben dabei durch die unversehrten Außenhäute der Blätter geschützt. Minierer sind so vielfältig wie ihre Wirtspflanzen - bei iNaturalist hat das "Leafminers of Europe" Projekt weit über 500 Arten dokumentiert und "Leafminers of North America" fast 1000. Und wenn auch einige wenige Vertreter bei Landwirten und Gärtnern nicht gern gesehen sind, richten doch die allermeisten Arten keinen ernsthaften Schaden an.<a href="https://dresden.network/tags/Insects" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Insects</a> <a href="https://dresden.network/tags/Invertebrates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Invertebrates</a> <a href="https://dresden.network/tags/Leafminers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Leafminers</a> <a href="https://dresden.network/tags/Biodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Biodiversity</a>

Ashes and DustLeaf mine of the Poison Ivy Leafminer Moth (Cameraria guttifinitella) for <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/NationalMothWeek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NationalMothWeek</a>.

Max, whispers to you too nowSo nice to come back from a date (I went to the park alone) with a flower bouquet (I picked leafs that had leaf miners in the and I want to see them hatch) 😍 <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/insects" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#insects</a> <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/leafMiners" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#leafMiners</a>

Jonny ClarkI’m becoming increasingly fascinated by <a href="https://birds.town/tags/LeafMiners" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LeafMiners</a> - larvae of some moths (and probably other invertebrates) that eat the leaves of their chosen <a href="https://birds.town/tags/foodplant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#foodplant</a> from the inside. Here’s one on a <a href="https://birds.town/tags/cherry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cherry</a> leaf and the other on an <a href="https://birds.town/tags/oak" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#oak</a> leaf. In normal light it’s hard to see they’re there at all but back lighting helps.<a href="https://birds.town/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nature</a> <a href="https://birds.town/tags/NaturePhotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NaturePhotography</a> <a href="https://birds.town/tags/wildlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wildlife</a> <a href="https://birds.town/tags/invertebrates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#invertebrates</a> <a href="https://birds.town/tags/insect" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#insect</a> <a href="https://birds.town/tags/Insects" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Insects</a> <a href="https://birds.town/tags/macro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#macro</a> <a href="https://birds.town/tags/macrophotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#macrophotography</a> <a href="https://birds.town/tags/closeup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#closeup</a> <a href="https://birds.town/tags/leaves" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#leaves</a> <a href="https://birds.town/tags/entomology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#entomology</a>
