I hate weevils. I have black sunflower stem weevils, and if I'm not vigilant, every last sunflower will be deadheaded right before it blooms. Sorry, I squish those guys.
ReplyDeleteThat's okay, if they go past a determined threshold of damage then the population may need to be manually reduced. I wonder who preys on weevils?

Those are truly amazing photos of insects.

Thanks Cassy
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful! My favorite is the Blister Beetle one that has lots of them on the same stem.
ReplyDeleteHi Ellen,
ReplyDeleteYes they devoured the Wild White Indigo flowers one year. I have not seen them in as high a numbers again.
