Sorbus aucuparia, Arnhem, Sonsbeek

mine

Lower-surface, yellow-green tentiform mine with a few sharp folds in the epidermis. In Rowan the mine isparallel to the leaf margin, in Cherry usually between two lateral veins. The light brown cocoon lies in a wide where cocoon, in which no frass is incorporated; all frass is accumulated in a clump in an angle of the mine. Before hatching the pupa penetrates the mine wall; generally the exuvium remains stuck halfway out of the mine.
