On a side note, I live in easter pa, have they layed eggs already?

I've seen tiny brown spots where the grass comes up in handfuls? I
thought this would happen at the end of July.

Look for billbug grubs. They're very small with no legs, look at
the second picture down.

I'm in my second year of laying down milkyspore so I'm trying to avoid
laying down any harse pesticides. I'm guessing I'm going to have to
live with the small dead spots till next year.

Would feeding the lawn help get it through this bad bug year?

later,
