I’ve made this a gift article, anyone should be able to access it. Thanks for all of your hard work, Charley! I like the last paragrah: Mr. Eiseman understands: This is not the stuff of headlines like the monarch on its milkweed or the pollinators’ plight. But he wan…

Love it. I know I didn’t know what a leaf miner was until I joined here. Now I’ve got photos of over 100 of them. Charlie a huge factor in that.

Awesome article, nicely done @ceiseman !!

Whoops, totally misspelled Charley’s name. Sorry about that! I’ve updated my post.

Hooray for Charley! I must confess I knew about leafminers before iNat, but that’s only because Charley is local to me. If you ever have have a chance to hear him give a talk, make sure you go to it!

Lol, I thought I was the one who mixed it up, so I edited mine prematurely

I love this: “I would love to put out a major message: If you see evidence of things eating and living on your plants, that is a good thing.” That sums up the paradigm shift we need when thinking about gardening. The more native species, the more holes and mines you’ll see in the leaves, and tha…

Charley has been so helpful with identifying leafmines(I post a lot of them)! Great to see a naturalist get major recognition outside of the Inat community and other naturalist publications! Could I see the article link?
