strange leaf 'tube' ...

19 years ago

When adding some Canadian peat moss to an area where my son was laying new rolls of sod he found some curious 'tubes'in the peatmoss x the bag! They were green (of leaf material?)& 3/4 inch long, 1/16 inch wide & plugged at the end. When he broke one open it had a small white worm in it & in another there were tiny yellow eggs. The Master Gardener office here couldn't ID them so sent them on to the entomology dept. at NMS University.

Could they be from the leaf-rolling bees? haven't heard any ID yet from NMS.

Hope they aren't harmful, whatever they are!
