Hi,

Does anyone know what is most likely responsible for eating my laurels?
Just about every leaf has been chewed to some degree.

I am unable to see any insects other than wasps that appear to be
attracted
to something on the backs of the leaves.

Thanks.
-----------------------
Minute 'Scale Insects' are most likely to blame. A
diagnostic
characteristic is to feel for stickiness under the leaf.
The wasps will be feeding on their exudations.
Best Wishes Brian.


Thanks Brian.
I have just checked and can feel no stickiness.
