Horsetail—primeval plant that is high in silica; tops are very similar to and may be eaten like asparagus. Lamb's quarters—leaves and shoots, raw, also prevents erosion, also distracts leaf miners from nearby crops. Nettle—young leaves collected before flowering used as a tea or spinach substitute. Plants have use as compost material or ...

In one study, comparing P. ilicis to P. ilicicola on Ilex plants it was demonstrated that there were an average of 0.23 mines per leaf (or one mine for every four or five leaves on a plant). [8] Up to three mines may occur on a leaf – often much less than the number of oviposition scars, suggesting that intra-leaf competition has taken place. [9]
Miner's lettuce served as a salad. The common name of miner's lettuce refers to how the plant was used by miners during the California Gold Rush, who ate it to prevent scurvy. [13] [14] [15] It is in season in April and May, and can be eaten as a leaf vegetable. [16] The entire plant is edible, except the roots, and it provides vitamin C. [17]
The family Agromyzidae is commonly referred to as the leaf-miner flies, for the feeding habits of their larvae, most of which are leaf miners on various plants.

Caloptilia azaleella deposits its eggs on azalea (Rhododendron spp) plants, under leaves near the midrib. These are the only hosts so far recorded. [2] The larva initially forms a mine and later rolls the leaf downwards from the tip, forming a cone. [6]
The collapse of an 11-story coal mining plant in Martin County left two workers trapped under the rubble as crews worked to free them Wednesday. One of the workers has since been confirmed dead.
Liriomyza sativae, commonly known as the vegetable leaf miner, is a species of insect, a fly in the family Agromyzidae. [8] The larvae of this fly mine the leaves of a range of vegetables and weeds, but seem to favour plants in the families Cucurbitaceae , Fabaceae and Solanaceae .
