Adult Sawfly
My infestation
Well if it is not the overabundance of rain, it is the insects. It is a really hard year for gardeners in my area. I don't think it will every dry out enough to plow our garden at my Dad's place. As for my little backyard garden, I have conceded the loss of my strawberries to the slugs and the fungi due to the constant rain. Now my container shrubs are under attack by what appears to be Loblolly Pine Sawfly (Neodiprion taedae) caterpillars or one of the other nearly 100 species of Sawflies.
