Yes, I discovered them last summer & haven't eradicated it yet though concentrated in one garden.

Info from Erikson's Gardens:
-soil borne larvae emerges early May
-lays eggs in buds
-grubs eat inside of bud & deform it
-remove affected buds in June (seal in bag & dispose -- don't compost) Otherwise the grubs will crawl back down into the soil when done eating to emerge again next year as an adult.)
-no spraying required or needed for this pest

Yep, that's the same thing I've been doing with the buds. I've also read that late bloomers escape most of the damage. It's a new problem to me so was trying to spread the word on here.

No problem for me with over 30 daylilies in Portland, sure hope it never gets to be one too....thanks

Fall city Washington, Big problem for me this year! Can anyone help?

When I contacted 'The Bug Farm' here on the island they said to use nematodes, can't remember which one but it was the ones used indoors, I did get them and sprayed, didn't have a problem the next year but the little buggers are back this year :(.
