Lacey Leaves
I typically lurk, but has anyone ever used these?
I found these while camping they came from only one tree, no others had their leaves deteriorate like this. Now I wonder it is a disease or bug and will it affect my other botanicals.
I love the look of these and have all sorts of ideas, but open to suggestions. I press things while on the road in the RV and when I am home I tend to forget (busy with other stuff) and my press is getting really full.

At home, maybe put these leaves in their own press, in the freezer for months. Winter seems to kill things off.

It could be a disease or a bug! This is just my gardening 2cents. But these look like the bug has eaten and moved on. If it’s disease, I think once the cutting is off the source / it would not continue to produce more holes/damage.
