Dear Friends, Call it naivety, luck or "Planet Jim", I don't have much of a clue about this pest. I did a Google search and can find very little about it's distribution. One map just shows the US from border to border, Another just shows Georgia. Missouri Botanic Garden says it is a minor problem. Can't say I have ever seen one here. Obviously Arnold has it in New Jersey and Roger in British Columbia. How serious is it elsewhere? Anyone else in the midwest have this problem? Feeling lucky or lost in the blue?
