Bad Bug!

They came to me via a seed trade years ago, someone said freeze the seeds and that would take care of them--NOT! they just go to sleep when the wake up the eat up more of your seeds....

thats the one!! thanks so much!

Just in case someone else reads this...i went out and gently shook the tops of the hollyhocks into a bowl of water and drowned the little suckers. this morn i went out and found 3. I will come home this after noon and re-shake just in case. there were several hundred of them on my hollyhocks. if you do this wear a hat. i found some in my hair later. that was kinda gross.
