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

Here's what the rest of the plant looks like.

My Columbines get mauled by leaf miners, but at least it doesn't happen until summertime. |

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.

I think that it will come back. Sounds like a good plan :) |
