Onion Leafminer
Phytomyza gymnostoma
Phytomyza gymnostoma, common name onion leaf miner or allium leafminer, is a species of leaf miner and a agricultural pest, specialising in crops in the Allium genus. These plants include onions, leeks, and garlic. It is native to mainland Europe, but was first detected in England in 2002, and North America in 2015. They are bivoltine, meaning they produce two generations per year.
