CULT: shriveling stalks


Well -- Here's answering half of my own question:  Another stalk of LUMALITE bit the dust yesterday.  But this time, I noticed that at the point at which the stalk withered it had obviously been gnawed by something.  This was near the base of a leaf, and the critter had gnawed through both the leaf and the stem.  Inside the stem, there was a little chamber about 1/8" in diameter which was bone dry.  The stem above this had withered.  I looked for eggs with a magnifying glass, but found nothing.  So, does this sound familiar to anyone?  I haven't encountered it in 25 years of irising.
