Leaf mine.
(
Fig. 78
) Pale greenish to whitish, turning brownish; in some cases beginning as an irregular track, gradually expanding to an elongate blotch, with frass mostly in squiggly strips; in others, forming a more or less compact blotch with distinct secondary feeding lines, and with frass mostly in fine grains. Two or three larvae may feed together.
Puparium.
Yellow to brown; formed outside the mine.
Phenology and voltinism.
Data from the few known specimens of this species indicate it is at least bivoltine. Larvae collected in
Massachusetts
in mid-June emerged as adults in early July (
Eiseman & Lonsdale 2018
); a larva collected in
Alberta
in early August emerged as an adult the following spring (
Lonsdale 2017a
); and the
Iowa
specimen emerged on an unknown date from a larva collected in late August.
