sooby said:Yes they are recorded from Ohio. I believe they will overwinter there, it's not exclusive to southern areas. A lot of people just remove and destroy the mined leaves, it depends on your level of tolerance. Further info from the AHS here:

What a beautiful photo. I want those spiders in my garden...lots of those.
Seedfork said:I was just reading about using sticky traps for them, I am considering making my own. Pulling leaves might be an option when they are only a few damaged, but in my garden that would be too large of a task. I often see it recommended to pull leaves, for leaf miners, to pull leaves for leaf streak and for rust. So as I've said before that would leave no leaves on the plants here.
Seedfork said:I deal with all those problems here, and as depressing and challenging as it is, it is the critter damage that really gets to me.
