Leaf-miner: Mine an irregular stellate blotch with a later linear section. Pupation
internal; firmly glued within the mine by frass (Spencer,
1976: 443).
The
mine begins with a few lower-surface corridors, radiating from one
centre that is not associated with the midrib; the corridors are
very shallow and not easy to observe. Subsequently some (rarely
only one) upper-surface, rather long and often branched corridors
are formed from the same centre. Frass mostly at one side, in pearl
chains. Pupation within the mine (Bladmineerders van Europa).
An upper surface gallery with a star-shaped start. Frass in pearl-strings (British
leafminers).
Larva: The larvae of flies are leg-less maggots without a head capsule (see examples). They never have thoracic or abdominal legs. They do not have chewing mouthparts, although they do have a characteristic cephalo-pharyngeal skeleton (see examples), usually visible internally through the body wall.
The larva is illustrated in Bladmineerders van Europa.
Puparium: The puparia of flies are formed within the hardened last larval skin or puparium and as a result sheaths enclosing head appendages, wings and legs are not visible externally (see examples).
Yellowish or reddish brown; posterior spiracles are elongate, with
up to 24 bulbs (Spencer, 1976:
443). The anterior spiracles of the puparium penetrate the plant
epidermis (Bladmineerders van Europa).
