Here comes da bugs...
Not a worry so far except for the new arrival of a few beetles. Just this morning it looks
like a striped potato or cucumber beetle.(?) Top right. Found on a young GroundCherry. The top left, tortoise beetle i remember from last year...never more than one or two a day so i just hand pick. Bottom right is a flea beetle tiny hole damage. Not troubling so far, just one plant, lower leaves i removed. The shriveled leaf is odd. I'm thinking from a storm from tree 'dandruff'. Something from above being the only one. The rest of the plant is fine. Lots of cattican and tulip poplar debris. Or bird dropping...something intensely concentrated. Always a few mysteries. Odd to not see the usual stink bugs. No mosquitos after all the rain and just one tick the past three days.... |
