[Leps-l] Odd leaf miner

[Noort, dr. ir. T.H. van (Tom)]

Dear Thomas,

I just came across an very old post of yours and wondered whether you ever got a reply/an answer by anyone? I am diagnostician at the Plant Protection Organisation of the Netherlands and one of our phytosanitary inspectors found Bucida buceras with exactly the same zig-zag pattern as you describe.

Does anyone know which leaf miner (I assume Gracillariidae) makes a dark zig-zag pattern on leaves of black olive (Bucida buceras).  These were seen on plants from south Florida.  Any information on these would be greatly appreciated.  TIA.

Tom

Kind regards,

Tom van Noort.
