I get this too. It's a grub, not sure what kind (rose weevil? rose

Anyway, systemic insecticides get rid of them, but in the meantime the

Hi Daniel,

I hate to use insecticide. If you see my follow up post to Allegra in this
same thread, you'll see I have a lot of critters in my garden I want to
protect. Can you recommend an insecticide I can use that won't hurt these
beneficials?

Thanks,

Mike
