leaf-miner
A leaf-miner is any insect in its larval stage that lives in and eats the leaf tissue of a plant. This is typically identified by the visible, narrow, winding trails they leave on the leaf surface. The term “leaf-miner” isn't species-specific and is used to describe the lifestyle of certain species of moths, beetles, flies, and wasps. While leaf-miners can cause damage to crops, they rarely kill a plant entirely.
