The serpentine leaf miner is the larva of a fly, Liriomyza brassicae, in the family Agromyzidae, the leaf miner flies. It mines wild and cultivated plants, such as cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower and Chinese broccoli.[1]
It is distributed in the Pacific, Africa, and the Americas.[2]
The life cycle of the fly is up to 21 days. It lays eggs in the leaf epidermis of host plants. Larvae hatch within four days. They are yellow or green and have three instars. It emerges from the pupa as an adult, a gray fly with black and yellow spots.[2]
The American serpentine leafminer (Liriomyza trifolii) is a closely related species, and Liriomyza huidobrensis is also known as the serpentine leafminer.[3] Another member of the genus, Liriomyza commelinae occurs widely in the neotropics and pupates within the mine. It feeds mainly on plants within the genus Commelina.
The Wire song Outdoor Miner was inspired by co-writer Graham Lewis's fascination with this insect[4] and details its life cycle.[5]

Liriomyza brassicae is een vliegensoort uit de familie van de mineervliegen (Agromyzidae).[1] De wetenschappelijke naam van de soort is voor het eerst geldig gepubliceerd in 1885 door Riley.
De larven zijn bladmineerders van planten uit de kruisbloemenfamilie (Brassicaceae). Ze voeden zich met het mesofyl van de bladeren. De gangen die ze maken zijn grillig, wit of groenachtig van kleur. Een enkele "mijn" is niet opvallend, maar een grote groep larven kan een volledig blad kaalvreten. Volwassen planten hebben er weinig last van maar jonge plantjes kunnen sterk verzwakken of afsterven. De soort leeft op wilde en gecultiveerde planten, waaronder broccoli, wittekool, bloemkool en Chinese broccoli (Kailan). Deze soort komt niet voor in Europa maar wel in het gebied rond de Stille Oceaan, Afrika en de Amerika's.[2]
