Yes, there are such things as leaf miners, whose feeding tunnels are filled with droppings and recognizable by species-distinct configurations. Leaf miners are fly (Diptera), moth (Lepidoptera), and sawfly (Symphyta) larvae that live inside and - thoughtfully for the hosts -- prey upon leaf tissues with the least amounts of cellulose or tannin.
