A cooperative British project on leaf-miners. Includes lots of photographs of mines and miners accessible by species list (of miner) or searching. There are also GB distribution maps (Lepidoptera only) and information on biology.

There are also a set of keys to Lepidopteran leaf-mines (based on MOGBI vols 1 & 2).
