I thought they were the same worm.
I have a huge problem with them in my corn. Left alone, there could be 6-10 worms in every ear, and the mold they bring with destroys the entire ear. Control involves squirting a bit of mineral oil in the end of each ear as soon as the silks show. I’m not sure that would work for sweet corn, but for dry corn it works pretty well. The oil is gone by the time they’re ready to harvest. I only lost a few ears to worms last year, and I think they were the ears that hid when I was patrolling.
Right
The Obamas and their entourage - number one global mega-pest swarm.
You bet
Oh boy, another potential illegal alien invader.
The Russians must be behind this!.........................
It all starts when the ants go marching one by one....
The BIG question is: Did President Trump collude with these “mega-pests”?
Nuke it from orbit. Its the only way to be sure.
Here in Arkansas, the old timers say that Fish and Game brought back the beavers over the objections of everybody but the environmentalists. Not enough territory for the beavers to thrive, etc., etc., so they brought in alligators to control the beaver population. Turns out gators don’t really like beavers (cue up the off-color jokes) so now we have both overrunning us.
I know that some of the F&G people post here, so I’ll probably get flamed for this, but it’s what the natives say, ALMOST to a person.
First-hand, I will say that in my area, the only old-growth bamboo one finds are along river banks (to control erosion). That one is undeniable. I doubt it was F&G who introduced it, maybe the Corps, but it sure wasn’t private parties.
They're talking about you.. ;-)
Same insect with different names depending on the crop.
The razzle dazzle on “different” species is a bit much. Perhaps, different races of the same species would be a bit closer to reality.
