| goshsmom Cincinnati, OH Zone 6a May 4, 2008 | I noticed this yesterday, & by the time I got my camera today, the columbine is practically skeletonized. They seem to have invited all their friends & family! Any idea what variety critters these are? And how to keep them off my columbines? Thanks, Pat

| claypa West Pottsgrove, PA Zone 6b May 4, 2008 | I added this beast to Bugfiles in hopes you will add your pictures, goshsmom: [HYPERLINK@davesgarden.com] My Columbines get mauled by leaf miners, but at least it doesn't happen until summertime. |
| goshsmom Cincinnati, OH Zone 6a May 4, 2008 | Thanks, flygirl and claypa. Do you think I should remove the plant that's almost totally eaten up? Or just clip it back. I have abt 6 or 7 other columbiones in that bed: I'm going to try & clip, squish, & spray so I don't lose them all. Again, thanks for the ID. Pat |
