Rubus ulmifolius
These leaves are attacked by a leaf miner. Usually a moth caterpillar, the larva eats the internal tissue of the lead and leaves its skin on both sides. You can see its wider tunnel as it grows
thank you very much, I didn't know it!
These tunnels in the leaf are made by insect larvae, probably the caterpillar of a small moth. Moved to Arthropod category.
