California leaf-mining insects

Is there a database like gallformers for leaf-mining insects that includes California (i.e. you can search for a host plant and see all the species that mine the leaves)? If not, it seems like a fun and worthwhile thing to start making.

Take a look at the Leaf Miners of North America project and read the journal entries for that project. Charley Eiseman has done incredible research on this topic.

Not an online database, but I have an e-book that provides illustrated keys to the leaf mines on every plant genus in North America: https://charleyeiseman.com/leafminers/
