This project is not for galls, leafminers, rusts, mildews, leaf spots, scale, aphids, or anything else of the sort. This is for observations that you think might be one of those things, but in the end ends up just being external feeding, environmental damage, a normal part of the plant, or anything else unidentifiable.

This project is for observations of damage to plants that have no chance of being identified past something vague like "insects" or "stateofmatter life". My goal for this project is mainly to collect observations of what were thought to be leafminers, galls, rusts, or other plant parasites, but aren't actually anything that could have a name attached to it. If you're unsure if you've found a parasite or something else, check this project to see if you can find a match ! less ↑
