Another narrow linear leaf mine on Arctostaphylos, this one maybe without an obvious exit hole? I collected this leaf and have it in a vial with a bit of moist TP.

Narrow 1-mm leaf mine on Arctostaphylos sp. Per C. Eiseman's book (first edition), I'm thinking this might be "Marmara or possibly Etainia"?

Two manzanita leaves with linear mines extending into midrib. I have both leaves in vials and hope for something to emerge.
See this observation for another leaf collected from the same shrub at the same time with a larva found at the base of the leaf after dissection:

These mines were common on some of the manzanita shrubs here this morning. I collected this leaf (as well as two other leaves now put into a separate observation) as well as about a couple of inches of twig on either side. There are whiteflies on some of these leaves - those are in a separate observation.
Upon C. Eiseman's recommendation, I dissected the twig and leaf and found a 1-mm larva in the leaf base, photographed it and placed it into 100% ethanol for now.
