I had previously posted that this year there was a possibility for a
second generational cycle for borers. With an early spring and a hot
dry summer, many insects complete their life cycle much earlier. It
wouldn't take much for the borer to complete a second life cycle. I
don't think that they would be affected much by early frosts if they
make it into the rhizome by then.

borer.

I was very surprised to see this newly emerged borer
moth. It does suggest that under certain conditions-a long season-there
could be multiple generations.
Also-replanting JIs yesterday I found a few borers in
them!
