This is an allium leaf miner survey - but it's hard to tell whether it's leek moth or allium leaf miner that people have. Same end results though.

Great! Most of the location dots are over us

I got a few here well it think it was little nibbles on the leaves and cocoons on the leaves aswell i squished them. there was no damage to the bulbs or whites of the leeks

Got it here ;(, over half my leeks had it so I chopped them off at a couple of cm above the ground and they seem to be recovering o.k.

Either one has destroyed my whole leek crop. I'm just outside of Cardiff.
