Like a said this hazel tree isn't that big but it's full of the b*****d from bottom to top. Just looked at some images. Says they'll eat any green leafs. So this area will be f****d if not rid of the c**ts. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnipper 6,626 Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 I'd never really noticed alder beetles until a couple of years ago when we had a plague of them on the alder hedges on one of our sites. I've seen a few since but nothing like that first year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So I'm guessing that's where the lay the larvae Quote Link to post Share on other sites
