I’m right there with you on this one VineWeevil!!!

So needless to say I was devastated to discover this little tyrant on my potted #Dalia a couple of weeks back. The dreaded #vineweevil. Since then I researched and treated with #nematodes. Hopefully the bulbs recover for next year. Anyone else try this method?

'Cry havoc! and let slip the Nematodes of war' First time trying these, it will be an interesting experiment if nothing else.

More #VineWeevil in my garden eating my succulents and probably laying eggs. They like to eat foliage and roots and then goodnight forever lovely plant. 🥲

Relocated them outside my property.

#VineWeevil on my trough aiming for my succulents. Moved him safely on the weeds.
Reminds me of giant bugs in Starship Troopers.

Followed! Welcome to Blue Vineweevil

As it turns out, VineWeevil, I just connected with #NAFO fella "Salo" ... we'll be chatting on the Nanaimo edition of the show next Wed & Vancouver edition next Sat about the #WildHornets fundraiser event in #Vancouver during #OdesaWeek featuring legendary Canadian sniper Wali. Will you be there?

Great! Thank you VineWeevil!
