Leaf mines for ID help - Oak

Post by PaulHopkins »

More from Dibbinsdale LNR, 6/8/20.

Not sure if there's enough detail in these images to ID this as Tischeria dodonaea? (Or something else, come to that!)

Hi Paul
Oak mines can be difficult and your Phyllonorycter would need rearing.
The rest are not mines. Most likely wear/fungal damage.
