Aquilegia sp. (Columbine) gets several foliar diseases but one of the most common problems is a serpentine type leaf miner (leaves light tan wiggly lines through leaves). Insecticides may help but they are not necessary since this insect is not fatal to the plant - just an aesthetic problem mostly.
