Leaf mine.
The mine and the leaf rolls are similar to those of
C. acericola
and
C. gloriosa
,
however the mine of
C. heringi
is smaller and the folded leaf margin stage is often missing (instead larvae make a cone from the leaf tip right after vacating mine) (

).
Trophic specialization.
Monophagous on
