Associated with Orchis:

leaf (live) live leaf is mined by larva Chyliza vittata - a psilid fly (Diptera: Psilidae) Foreign Minor Robbins, R., 1990 [Pupariates internally, usually just above the rootstock. Attacked stems may wilt and die.]
Photos leaf (live) live leaf is mined by solitary, then gregarious larva Parallelomma vittatum - a leaf-mining dung fly (Diptera: Scathophagidae) Robbins, R., 1990 [A few larvae mine individual corridors, then make a communal deep upper-surface blotch, but sometimes whole leaves may be mined out. Pupariates externally.]
