>Hey all,
>Hope you are having a better day than me. I came home tonight to find some

>Circumstances:

>No entry wounds visible
>no borer wasps spotted
>weekly fungi/insecticide spray, last applied last Sunday.
>Cucumber beetles spotted today, so 1 1/4 inch of rain Thursday thru
>Saturday
>must have washed off all insecticide
>*This vine buried LAST NIGHT with aged leaf compost
>No visible damage inside stem (I cut off two of them, and left the third on
>for further observation; hope it doesn't get the plant)

>2' off of main on second side vine
>No eggs or other bug evidence on stem or leaf
>Rain and hot temps at night for last 2 days
>90 degrees and 96-100% humidity all weekend

>Fungus? Borers? Milky spore? I'm nearly panicked!

>Please let me know if you are aware of what this is, and how big of a
