Am I correct in assuming that these are, indeed, Leaf Miners? I didin't know they could be this far north, but then again, I have dozens of newly arrived plants from southern sellers.
If these are Miners, will they overwinter here? Will I need systemic pest control?

My plants are looking so bad, and it's making me so sad, that I'm about to give up on my daylilies. Sad
