Hey, me too! I saw two entry points, one even with the wet sawdust
telltale sign. I dug both out (probably cut way too much vine) and never noticed
a grub in either. I took this to be my complete inexperience with this,
but maybe not after hearing that you had the same thing happen.
So the question I have for the old timers is: once the borer enters,
does he leave this early? From reading, I think he leaves after feeding
for 4-6 weeks, but it hasn't been anywhere near that long.
