West Nile Virus and mosquitoes.
In article ,
says...
Just remember that Bt used in the "dunks" also effects butterflies and
dragonflies, so keep that in mind if you're gardening to attract these
beneficial insects!
The dunks are Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis
....placed in water where no self respecting caterpillar
should be feeding.
Bacillus thuringiensis kurstaki - caterpillars
Bacillus thuringiensis tenebrionis - Colorado potato
beetle and elm leaf beetle larvae
Bacillus thuringiensis aizawai - wax moth larvae and
diamondback moth caterpillar
Don't think I have heard about dragonfly problems before
with them.
