Check out the little face - you may have to click the photo to get a better look. I'm pretty sure it's some sort of Cookie Monster or some other resident of Sesame Street - yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.Nah, I guess not.
The trails through the leaf were created by the larvae of a species of fly -- Phytomyza ilicicola, Holly leafminer -- the "face" marks the spot where the flies emerged.

It's definitely Cookie Monster. I wondered where he ended up. Guess he's learned it isn't easy being green.

What kind of camera you are using? The picture is really sharp!
The camera used to take this photo was a Panasonic DMC-TZ1.
