This coral honeysuckle has been healthy since I planted it at the end of summer '24, growing steadily through the fall. When I looked at it this morning, I was surprised by this invading insect, tunneling the leaves. I damaged my last honeysuckle by trying to get rid of a fungus and don't repeat a mistake with good intentions. Knowledge is welcome.

This appears to be the work of larvae of flies in the family Agromyzidae (leaf miners). For some control suggestions, see https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/pests/insects/leaf-miner-control.htm#:~:text=The%20most%20common%20method%20to,kill%20the%20leaf%20miner%20flies.
