The flowers are starting to die off now the nights are closing in.

Everywhere will be brown and grey soon :sad:

[QUOTE 3296590, member: 9609"]found this little stowaway in my hair whilst gardening - seemed a pleasant enough little chap, or at least he didn't bite me which I always think is a plus point.
Anyone know who he is ?

He is a thug - vine weevil. I'm surprised he didn't lie on his back and pretend to be dead. He usually eats plant leaves, not doing too much damage, but it's his off-spring that does most of the damage, eating plant roots! They make a good crunching sound when squashed!:whistle:

I've disposed of hundreds of the se this year. They've eaten all of my flowers in the garden.

If you go out at night with a torch you'll see them crawling everywhere on the plants.

As summer days says, the grubs are the ones to kill. They've gone through my wife's eucheras, that really sounds wrong doesn't it :blush:
