WRONG! IN my experience, they eat tender new shoots and
leaves of day lilies, daffodil buds just before they
open, tender new butterfly bush leaves, purple cone
flower leaves and flowers, dahlia blossoms, etc. etc.
etc. I have a TERRIBLE problem with them in the
spring/early summer, but by this time of year here in
7b, the problem is prett much over!
