Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: These are supplemental photos to an earlier submission, showing caterpillar and pupal closeups, that were deemed unidentifiable. I've added dorsal (first photo) and ventral (second) views of the characteristic damage this species does to sycamore leaves. It was quite a common species on sycamore at the location, and I don't think any other microlep makes these distinctive tied leaf tunnels on sycamore leaves.
