Photographing Leaf Miners
Methods
Location
The location for this project was the University of Massachusetts’s Amherst campus. The specimen was found at the shade tree laboratory(?) located at 272 Stockbridge Road. I had walked the perimeter of the building and found leaf miner activity in a weed located 6 feet to the right of the front entrance of the laboratory which is on the left side of the building that contains the University Club.
Materials
Three photographs of the infected plant were obtained in a simple manner.(Consider revision or deletion) The first photo showcases the entirety of the plant in the center of the photo and was taken at an angle from a five foot distance. The wall of the building was left in the top of the photo to aid in orientation and the next largest weed is centered on the right hand edge of the photo while the subject is in the center of the picture.
