Leaf mine.

Full-depth wide linear mine on mature leaf in young instars and full-depth ophiogenous blotch mine in old instars (Fig. 9 J – N). The mine is wider than the larval width, and frass is thick thread-like, deposited linearly along the middle line of the mine. The fully grown larva exits the mined leaf, falls to the ground, and pupates underground.
