| Details | The most obvious, omnipresent biological objects in the nonmarine world are plants in general, and leaves in particular. Virtually all leaves have insect-induced damage that was inflicted when they were alive. Besides being attacked by fungi, leaves are chewed, skeletonized, surface fed, pierced and sucked, mined, galled and bored by insects. Even insect eggs are inserted into leaf tissues. What gives?
