Description:

"Larvae form whitish blotch mines, with several larvae in the same leaf. The mines frequently merge and give the appearance of a single very large mine" (Spencer and Steyskal, 1986, via BugGuide).

Relationships:

Larvae create blotch mines on leaves of Ageratina, Arctium, and Eupatorium (Spencer and Steyskal, 1986, via BugGuide), as well as Eutrochium (C. Eiseman/BugGuide). We have records for Maryland on Common Boneset, Hollow Joe Pye Weed, and others.

There are 41 records in the project database.
