A Bug's Life

• Wednesday, May 10, 2006 - Viburnum Leaf Beetle

Yesterday I went to work with my Dad. He brought me because he needed some help collecting viburnum leaf beetle eggs. (See picture 1) It turned out that the "egg sacks" we collected (circled in red on picture 2) contained larva, because the eggs had already hatched.

I'll post more about them when I get a little more "in depth info."

Until then,
