Acer saccharinum
The larvae feed on "Acer" species, including "Acer rubrum" and "Acer saccharinum". They mine the leaves of their host plant. They mine into the parenchyma, just under the upper surface of the leaf. Later, they wrap silk around part of their mines to pupate. Part of the population overwinters in the larval form inside leaves that have fallen to the ground and pupate the following spring. The other part overwinters as pupae.
