Title: Rudeness on the Rhubarb...!!!
Post by: MiniTC on May 28, 2008, 13:30:09
I've got quite a few metallic looking beetles humping on my rhubarb leaves - then laying clusters of yellow eggs underneath the leaves.

Anyone know what these are??


???

thank you!

I've squidged the eggs - and flicked off the rampant beetles, hopefully that will cool their ardour.....!!!
