Hi!

Is it possible to get species for that corridor?
In Artemisia vulgaris.

Thanks in advance.

Several other species form very similar mines and it is not possible to put a name to the causer.

Thanks to Barry for the sensible word of warning!
Adults are usually straightforward to rear from mines. With luck you will get a male and then the ID can be confirmed.
