Leafminer runs amok
So this leafminer neatly and methodically ploughs through the first leaf of the pair, crosses over to the opposite leaf and starts in similar (haha) vein. Then there's obviously too much brandy in the Xmas pud and the creature lurches across the main vein and staggers round haphazardly.

Not really sure if this is a leafminer sign or just the leaf rotting away. It was photographed underwater, so the leaf could be rotting away. But, the pattern looked like a leaf miner sign, so I am really not sure. Leaf is a black cottonwood. Photographed as found submerged in the river.
