leaf-miner
Foliage interior pest
A leaf-miner is an insect larva that feeds between the upper and lower surfaces of a leaf, creating visible tunnels or blotches as it eats through the tissue.
Various moth, fly, and beetle species produce leaf-mining larvae.
The winding trails they leave behind are often more noticeable than the insects themselves: The citrus trees were riddled with leaf-miner damage.
