Since the hollyhocks are butterfly host plants and the butterfly bushes are nectar plants, I have chosen not to spray them with malathion which is what my county extension agent recommended. I have cut the hollyhock down to the ground and have severely cut back the butterfly bushes. I put all the cut branches into large black plastic bags and hauled them to the county dump. I fear, however, that these little critters may have already laid eggs for their next generation. If anyone knows more about these "demons", I would like to hear from you. |

Their numbers are increasing rapidly, so based on what other people say I'm going to start dropping them into my cup of soapy water with the Japanese Beetles! |
