      One must attack back , and right quick too I mean ! I went to check   
   soil moisture this afternoon and found eggs ... and then baby bugs . As   
   much as I hate to use it the only thing in my arsenal that has worked is   
   some old carbamate based Sevin . I did a thorough check and found and   
   destroyed lots of eggs , followed by a spray on top and bottom of all   
   the leaves at the recommended concentration . That knocked them down a   
   few weeks ago and I haven't seen any until today .   
      A question about their eggs . Some of the eggs I found today were a   
   light tan color rather than the dark reddish brown . I'm wondering if   
   those eggs were dead . They did seem a little crumbly when I crushed   
   them ...   
      This is the opening shot of Bug War 2024 , and I am readying my   
   counterattacks ! Next wave is probably Japanese beetles , I need to get   
   the attractant in the traps in the next few days before they arrive - I   
   may dodge that bullet this summer since I applied beneficial nematodes   
   in the early spring . Can't forget about the squash stem borers and   
   hornworms ! The Sevin should take care of the former , the latter aren't   
   usually a big problem if I keep watch for them . I need to check my Bt   
   selection , I might have an organic solution for the hornworms .

     It's great to be straight !
