|
|
I notice the last few days that the Italian parsley was looking wilted, but only in one area. I then noticed this morning that one large caterpillar looked flat, like something had sucked all the stuff out of it. I then saw another huge caterpillar with 2 bugs on it. Unfortunately it was too late for me to save it.
I looked thru the bug book but can't seem to find it. Please see if you can ID it. It's looks like a small, roundish beetle with beautiful markings on its back.

I guess no one knows the bug.
Have you used garlic pepper tea on it? Go to the home page, click 'library' & you can find the recipe.
Good luck-
