leaf miners

when i was in the garden a few days ago i noticed some artistically defurbished leaves on the wild purslane. leaf miners really like chard and beets, but apparently they'll stoop to eating purslane if no brassicas can be found.

when held up to the light, the leaf miners are more easily distinguished. but since i only got a picture of half the leaf....only one is readily noticeable.

sorry for the horrible picture, it's hard to macro with one hand whilst glaring up into bright light......
