Possibly oviposition slits of an insect

Mer Bleue area

Found this series of holes on a goldenrod stem this morning on my walk. Looks like the signs left when an insect has inserted an ovipositor into a stem to lay eggs.

It makes an interesting pattern. Like the sharpness and depth of field. V.

Amazing find. Without your keen eye and knowledge we would not be aware of what this is. V
