teeny weeny wrigglers
Out on our evening stroll round the garden tonight I noticed the variagated poplar in the front garden looking a little sad, thought it was wind damage until a closer look revealed some of the leaves were absolutely savaged, completely skeletonised! Very strange sight to see just veins where leaves should be, anyway on closer inspection I found an enormous amount of the leaves almost entirely covered with these teeny weeny (for want of a better word) catterpillars?...very small,thin, greenish yellow (was dusk, so not 100% on the colour) with a black head. I have three questions, what are they called? how do I deal with them? (organically if poss) and what put em there? Thanks again -- Shan (Ireland) http://ukdiscus.com/main.htm |
teeny weeny wrigglers
I don't know what they are, but I have them too on a small grafted willow.
They've eaten away many leaves, leaving just the skeleton of veins. I cut off as many of the affected leaves as I could and sprayed them. "shannie" wrote in message ...
