Abundant among oaks in June. The pale greenish-white larva 

 mines the leaves of the oaks in autumn ; it keeps close to a rib 

 of the leaf, and though its mine is narrow, it turns upon itself so 

 as to form a small blotch. It is a singular fact in vegetable phy- 

 siology, that when the leaves arc turning brown, the spots tenanted 

 by these larva; remain green much longer than the remainder of 

 tiic leaf, and this may frequently be observed in the leaves after 

 they have fallen. ^ , -
