Elm Leafminer
Fenusa pusilla
The Elm Leafminer is a tiny insect that loves to munch on elm leaves. It makes little tunnels inside the leaves, which can look like tiny mazes! These insects are interesting to watch as they create their homes in the leaves.
生息地: Urban areas
外見
The Elm Leafminer is a tiny, shiny black sawfly with an oval-shaped body and yellowish-white legs. Its wings are clear and membrane-like, often appearing slightly smoky. It can be visually differentiated from other small dark insects by its characteristic sawfly appearance, lacking the narrow 'wasp waist' of true wasps.
