Collected about 9 active mines for rearing. The larva from one mine was found walking around the collection vial within <1hr of collecting. Others remain in mines as active larvae or in chambers, as in photo 2 of this observation: https://inaturalist.ca/observations/138429043. Will store everything in fridge until April.
I suspect the larvae make multiple mines. Mines tended to be clustered - I would search for 10 minutes without finding anything, then would find 2 or 3 mines in very close proximity, often same plant, with most or all mines empty, including some small leaves that were completely mined.
