Leaf-mine: A contorted gallery leading to blotch. Larva greenish-white with dark ventral spots (British leafminers). Larva: The young larva has a chain of dark spots on the abdomen, which can be seen from above the mine, since the larva mines venter upwards. In later instars, these spots become smaller and less noticeable, and the green gut can be seen (UKMoths). The larva is illustrated in British leafminers and Nederlandse bladmineerders. Pupa: Details unknown.
