I've noticed a few odd holes in my close cropped lawn over the past few
days. This morning I was woken up to a large (50+) flock of starlings
probing the lawn, upon closer inspection large areas of the lawn appeared to
have sprouted 30mm high spikes (3-4mm diameter) which appear to be
crysalis(sp?) cases no sign of the emerged 'imago', are these mayfiles???
and do they 'hatch' in large numbers together or has some enviromental
factor triggered this??
