Vegetable Leafminer on Solanaceous Crops
Return to Insect Pests
Vegetable leafminer (Liriomyza sativae). Found on many vegetables, including tomato and pepper, vegetable leafminer larvae will make serpentine “mines” in leaves. Adults are 1⁄16 inch long black and yellow flies. Many natural enemies can control this pest. It is generally not an economic pest in Kentucky.
