If they are blister mines (Phyllonorycter etc) then wilting shouldn't pose a problem. put the mines in a small box or pot with muslin/netting over one end to allow air flow, and put them somewhere sheltered in the garden where they will not be filled with water. <br><br />Blotch mines or gallery mines need to be treated similarly but with some mossy substrate in the bottom of the pot to act as somewhere for the larva to pupate one they have finished mining. <br><br />VC41Mothshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17263945533123756002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553355011221187801.post-48581287172777094442013-10-06T21:29:55.660+01:002013-10-06T21:29:55.660+01:00I've had a look at the F dohrnii pics on Briti...I've had a look at the F dohrnii pics on British Leafminers and to be honest it looks more like I pectinea to my untrained eye!
