We should start a contest for the largest irisborer found by a lister member
(not including herself, of course). You sound like you've got a contender.
Yes, that was likely an irisborer. Yes, his little borer tummy was full so
he was lethargic. Yes, you did the right thing (putting your foot down).
I'll say it again... pseudacorus are wonderful devices for centralizing your
supply of irisborers.... they like those best (right after the $40
introduction you just bought).
