Just some useful information about leaf miners:
Some leaf miners (larvae of moths especially) break out across large areas overnight, but their occurrence slows over a species-specific period of time (e.g., one kind of leaf miners affects common plantain foliage in the first week of June but only continues to spread for that week). The damage is permanent. Leaf miners often occur at specific times of year, often a particular time in the summer.
Methods of Prevention:
Take measures to repel insects, especially moths
Take potted plants indoors (if possible) before nightfall until dawn (works for most moth larvae)
