Re: Re: bug id

Nope....hmmm....possibly.... These guys are fast.  I was able to catch some
only by snipping the branch from the deutzia and placing in a plastic bag -
which of course suffocated them.  Not sure I could make holes small enough
that they couldn't escape, large enough for air.
I suppose knowing they are a hopper is sufficient for choosing a control.  I
tried spraying them with a mix of sevin and pyola, but they jump so fast,
not sure I can get sufficient coverage.  I don't want to use systemics or
spray everything they might touch with something deadly to ingest because I
value the bees and wasps.
So what suggestions do you all have for controlling such hoppers that like
to suck the life out of a plant?
