In 2018, for the first time in Artsakh, we’ve conducted research studies on leaf miners in the village Ivanyan at Askeran region. The objective of the work is to study the composition of leaf miner species, their distribution and eco-biological features. The results of the study have revealed the polyphagous species Liriomyza sativae. In this work we introduce the external structure of the species, its development peculiarities, as well as the length and location of miners (larvae feeding results) on the leaves of different vegetable crops.
