These are immature kudzu eggs getting ready to hatch. Their mother decided to attach them to the post of our bulletin board in Valley Crest Square.
Blake sprayed them with a plant-derived, naturally occuring insecticide-Pyrethrum. It’s made from Chrysanthemum dried flower heads.
Fingers crossed they die overnight…if not, this unlucky nest will be smashed dead with a 2×4 by 9am tomorrow!
Farmer: Stay vigilant! If we don’t all keep after this infestation we’ll lose more than just the legumes…kudzu bugs were found on artichokes today as well! (5/19/12)
