Plant parasites are so cool I feel like they're so underappreciated..... I do love a parasitoid as is probably evident from this blog but there's something so neat about little larvae wiggling around inside of leaves and stems and making funky patterns, and parasitic fungi!! And don't even get me started on galls. And hardly anyone seems to take notice of them!!! Except perhaps the really flashy galls

Leafmine of Phyllocnistis vitegenella. A leafmine is created by the larvae of an insect feeding within the layers of the plant tissue.

My little garden on this day in 2018. I miss growing my own #basil and #mint. Does anyone have tips for keeping #leafminers away from my leaves? 🤔 (at Westbury) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPfHtU5JkJK/?utm_medium=tumblr
