Larry that is the fly that produces the leaf miners. I seen one today on the foliage of Kabuki Drama, I tried to kill it but it flew away.

Winters do not kill them. They overwinter in the and plant debris and possibly deep in the part of the crown that is unaffected by freezing temps.
I just wonder if an organic larvaicide like Gnatrol WDG that I use on my cuttings to control fungus gnat larva will work. the plant absorbs the Gnatrol and any larva that feeds on the plant will die. I don't put Gnatrol on my established plants because most of my plants are edible and I don't trust putting BT in my body but I can do without eating daylilies. I will try it today and see if it lowers the amount of tracks in my garden it lasts for about 3-4 weeks so I should see a difference with just 1 application if it works. I'll keep everyone updated on this thread. It should stop them in their "tracks" literally
