    Blasted bugs!

    I go out and find a limb just kinda hanging there, dead/wilted area where it has fallen. First 2 I cut off and opened to find a bore worm, this time I took a pic. These are not like what I had last year, much larger and go far down the limb fast leaving the limb full of poo. I find no entry hole as I did with the hemp borers, first sign is the end of the limb is pointing down (maybe a blue pill? LOL) with the wilted spot.
    Anyone else seeing these?

    That is nasty looking. The local university here has an entomology dept that does free identification. Is there something like that in your area?
    Don't worry, be happy, grow sticky buds.

      I'm sure there is, but it's a bore worm, looks like I have at least 3 types.

      IF I find another I'll snap a pic before I remove it. Just from the look of it I knew I must diagnose it.

      I assume you live in the states...Go buy some real insecticide and spay them....I now live in Canada and we do not have access to good chemicals....Maybe search for worms or caterpillars pest effecting other plants like roses ect..you might find some relevant information...probably not much when you search for weed pest..

      Since you have had this issue before, it would be a good thing to at least identify the problem....

      Good luck with your research and growing...

        changeofpace2014 First I grow organic, I dont use chemicals on anything. These are the same bore worms you find in dead pecan trees, I saw the black wasp looking thing flying around them and did not think anything about it, then limbs start dropping. I do use ladybugs, praying mantis etc..
        Be safe!
