There has been discussion - mainly rumor - before on borer distribution.  I 
for one am keenly interested in hearing first hand reports of any actual, 
verified iris borer found west of the Rockies, or south of the Mason Dixon.  

I too have a suspicion that these nasty creatures are adapting and 
spreading... and I believe that if this is true - if borer threaten the large 
growers on the left coast - then we will see some significant control 
research kick into gear.

I wonder too if borer has been found there and given some euphemistic 
name.... like how they call cockroaches "palmetto bugs" in Florida.
