Chewed Viburnum
In article , Jan
writes Something is chewing the heck out of the leaves of my Viburnum Tinus Eve Price. I thought it might be vine weevil, but the leaves are chewed in the middles, not around the edges (vine weevil chew the edges, right?) I've found one large bright green caterpillar, and 2 small larvae that have rolled up the leaves with a sticky web, but that's all. Oh, and one 7-spot ladybird. Are pests normally alive and active at this time of year? No, but this winter is a warm one. All those who feel global warming will mean all-year gardening might stop to think it will also mean all- year pests. Does anyone know what might be chewing the leaves? The caterpillar is vegetarian Ladybird larvae eat greenfly. -- Kay Easton Edward's earthworm page: http://www.scarboro.demon.co.uk/edward/index.htm |
