Yesterday I had an adult Phyllonorycter emberizaepenella emerge from a mine on Snowberry Symphoricarpos, one of four containing the typical dark green pupal cocoon collected in the garden last October (the other three all produced parasitic wasps). I've recorded the mines here previously on Snowberry, but never on Honeysuckle of which we have a large amount.
