Description
The larvae feed on Salvia lavandulifolia. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine consists of a full-depth, very narrow corridor, hardly widening in the end. The first third is particularly narrow and closely follows the leaf margin. The sides are irregularly scalloped. The frass line is irregular, almost filling the corridor but always leaving clear margins. Pupation takes place outside of the mine. The wingspan of the mature moth is 4.2-4.8 mm.
gollark: Yes, I agree (except possibly not with the "you need to choose a side" bit); my point is that people often *do act as if* the other side is always wrong, regardless of whether they actually *are*.
gollark: “We must oppose X because the outgroup supports it!”-type stuff instead of actually evaluating whether things are good ideas or not.
gollark: I'm not sure that's accurate, inasmuch as some of the time some sides don't actually appear to be acting according to whatever values are claimed.
gollark: I mean, food waste's not great, but it's not as if we could just conveniently ship it continents away to help people.
gollark: I don't think you can reasonably blame all preventable-with-more-resources-somewhere deaths everywhere on capitalism.
