Bhagyashri ji,
the Larvae of Agromyzidae, also known as leaf-miner flies (minierfliege
in german) is responsible for making these "designs".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agromyzidae
I have a few fotos of some beautiful designs, will upload, when i have
more time. I normally pluck the leaves and burn them or throw them away,
not on kompost.
Till then watch some here:

Dear all,
This RaanJaai creeper in my garden. I have noted that there appears
some design on the leaves and was wondering what is it due to ? I have
also posted the picture of its flower. It has no fragrance. The
creeper grows very rapidly.
Thanks
Bhagyashri
