A big, green and very fat katydid. Not only did it reduce the five shelled
seeds to mere crumbs, it had started on another pod I'd gathered and wanted
to let dry a bit more before shelling out the seeds and had eaten through
until a row of about 5 seeds were exposed, but fortunately kept the meal
confined to the pod shell and left the exposed seeds alone. It died for his
efforts and I won't make the mistake of leaving freshly shelled seeds
sitting out again.
Speaking of chewing critters, does anyone know of an effective means of
killing cutworms. Two trips out last night and I gathered about a dozen
off those recovering iris plants. Diazinon? They were a plague in the
latter half of bloom season last year and they are starting really early
this year. I think those freeze damaged plants could use a break.
