Those old things before digital cameras. I use that on mine for leaf mines.<br /><br />NigelNigelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00643061027555120933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-789886813706673673.post-30969646792359897642016-10-19T17:20:32.165+01:002016-10-19T17:20:32.165+01:00Thanx Dave!

I can't see frass or larvae in the corridor mines; they all seem to have gone a bit brown (which is as described in some cases in uk leafmines...). <br />Cheers<br />DaveDavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00362910513148365379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-789886813706673673.post-78276108998201388092016-10-18T20:52:30.358+01:002016-10-18T20:52:30.358+01:00Hi Dave, here's my offering:
1. Not sure tha...Hi Dave, here's my offering:<br /><br />1. Not sure that's a mine (better picture might help).<br />2. I think you are correct with P.esperella.<br />3. Not a mine, just grazing.<br />4. If you mean the corridor rather than the blotch, it might be<br /> Stigmella microtheriella (better picture might help).<br />5. Could be Stigmella floslactella (better picture might help).<br />6. Could be P.spinicolella but could equally be one of the two<br /> Parornix spp which feed on blackthorn - I prefer to see the<br /> larva to be sure.<br />7. More grazing.<br />8. Not P.cavella which is quite a large mine (check the number<br /> of creases too). Probably P.ulmifoliella.<br /><br />With the corridor mines you need to be able to see the contents clearly (frass pattern and larva if it is present) so a much brighter picture with the light source behind the leaf is essential.Dave Wiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12533795070964851106noreply@blogger.com
