grubs
The message
from "Sarah" contains these words: ok, got it, its a baddie. I did squish it and leave it for any passing birds so that was ok. But i am a bit worried i have an infestation. It is a new allotment and have no idea how bad these grubs might be. How long vine weevil grubs get to be? Even with my poor sense of space i can confidently say this was much longer than 6mm. What is a chafer? And is there anything i can do about these grubs? If it's what I think it is, it's some sort of scarab, maybe one of the chafers and very common. Don't worry. If you come across one, feed it to the birds. I don't expect you'll have 'an infestation' - expect to find one every two or three spits. I guess they live on grass roots, so if you deprive them of grass, they *MIGHT* turn their attention to vegetable roots, but I doubt it. (Unless you grow sweetcorn, of course.) -- Rusty Open the creaking gate to make a horrid.squeak, then lower the foobar. http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |
