Larvae of this fly eat the chlorophyll between the veins of the leaves, sometimes blisters appear on the leaf, after which the leaf withers. Sometimes the damage is limited to a few leaf mines. The larva then looks for another, still green leaf. Especially with a leafy vegetable such as spinach, larvae can do great damage. The pupa of the beet leafminer overwinters underground; in spring (April, May) the flies hatch. These lay eggs neatly in rows on the underside of leaves. After a few days, the larvae hatch and penetrate the leaves. The larvae can grow to a size of six mm. In summer, the larvae move to the ground where they pupate.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes”][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_custom_heading text=”Where to find” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff” google_fonts=”font_family:Lato%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” css=”.vc_custom_1537946500082{background-color: #536895 !important;}”][vc_column_text el_id=”entrytxt” el_class=”entrytxt” css=”.vc_custom_1541769629532{padding-left: 15px !important;}”]<\/p>\n
