butterfly................





these are dragonfly larvae. they live in the water until they get this big. then they crawl out and stick to the edge of the pond. after a short time in the pupa stage they emerge from the shell and fly away.

i was asking my wife the same thing this afternoon. the bag says 2 - 8 weeks, i double checked. we've had temps in the 80's for 2 months now. i put them outside in the shade on june 7. i bought some last year that didn't hatch either. i need them for the night moths. come on mantis......

i love the bugs. my grass hopper is still hanging out. like i said i had 1 all year last year. he keeps jumping from plant top to plant top. i can go out right now and check each plant and i will find him. just 1 though. kinda odd.

i use ladybugs. indoors i have no bugs other then gnats. if you look at my bud under a microscope you will see them stuck to it. they add a slight spicy tone to the flavor of the bud.
i got gnats, do they destroy ur plant?

the larvae will eat your roots. try "predator nematodes". if you google it you will find a site that ships to you. predator nematodes only live in soil though.
im goin to have to get them. one time i shook the pot and a WHOLE bunch of em came out of the soil. i made some liquid soap and water mix. spraied the top of the soil. and i shook it again the next few days and nothin came out but i do see em flyin around here n there and on occationaly on top the soil.

there are many products out there that will control gnats. i have gnats. i see them on my nuggies when i look at my trichromes. i can't get rid of them. my plants are alive but i don't think the gnats are doing any good. if you have a hydro store or a nursery they can help. i only use organics but i think there is a new gnat product out that is organic. i'm rambling............:mrgreen:
