Viburnum lesquereuxii leaf with insect damage; Dakota Sandstone (Cretaceous) of Ellsworth County, Kansas. Scale bar is 10 mm. Knowledge of herbivory in geological time comes from three sources: fossilized plants, which may preserve evidence of defense (such as spines) or herbivory-related damage; the observation of plant debris in fossilised animal feces; and the structure of herbivore mouthparts.

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]
Liriomyza trifolii, known generally as the American serpentine leafminer or celery leafminer, is a species of leaf miner fly in the family Agromyzidae. [4] L. trifolii is a damaging pest, as it consumes and destroys produce and other plant products. It commonly infests greenhouses and is one of the three most-damaging leaf miners in
Instead of fire-hardening the park, the city — which the state said had undertaken the work without proper permitting — ended up paying $2 million in fines and was ordered by the California ...
The first true leaves form a rosette at the base of the plant, and are 0.5 to 4 cm (1 ⁄ 4 to 1 + 5 ⁄ 8 in) long, with a typically long petiole (exceptionally up to 20 cm or 8 in long). The small pink or white flowers have five petals 2 to 6 millimetres (1 ⁄ 16 to 1 ⁄ 4 in) long. The flowers appear from February to May or June and are ...
Yet mining volumes already had dropped by almost half over the past two decades as competition from renewable energy and cheap natural gas shuttered many coal-fired power plants served by the mines.
A leaf miner is any one of numerous species of insects in which the larval stage lives in, and eats, the leaf tissue of plants. The vast majority of leaf-mining insects are moths ( Lepidoptera ), sawflies ( Symphyta , a paraphyletic group which Apocrita ( wasps , bees and ants ) evolved from), and flies ( Diptera ).
