Phaedon desotonis |
Decimated greenthread foliage |
A spider manages to make a web among the eaten stems. |
I found a beetle AND a larvae (gotta look close) on the ground. |

Argh! Thanks for posting these photos! Larvae have INVADED my yard plantings--I've never seen ANYTHING like it. I haven't checked the pastures yet. Yours were the first photos I found. I'm in NE Oklahoma. An organic insecticidal soap didn't do a thing to them last week....will try something else tomorrow.
The coreopsis will survive, surprisingly. I HATE these beetles!
