Guest MOLLY Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 I looked at the vine weevil larvae on the net and they didnt look like these,,,,these had a diamondish shaped body with anteanne ((spell?)) and legs and segmented body ....these are more maggot in appearance...they looked similar to a wasp larvae??

woodga 170 Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 moll if they are not vine wevil they might be cut worm larve and that will still be bad for your flowers and plants treat your soil with bromofos and that will sort them out or scrape into the surface of your compost and remove them by hand good hunting all woodga :ph34r: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
