Subject Info This picture shows a Bramble leaf which has been eaten from within by the growing larva of a leaf-mining micro-moth, leaving a white trail in the otherwise green (and still functioning) leaf. The smallest end of the 'mine' (near upper part of leaf) marks where the egg was deposited by the adult moth. |
