Echium Leaf Miner (Dialectica scalariella)Observer

Something is attacking our borage, which has always been largely pest-free. Looks like some sort of leaf miner, under a broad thin layer of epidermis. After reading about borage leaf miners and other host plants I checked our comfrey and found the two adult moths which I've just added. The final image shows black frass inside the "mine".
