- Slugs and earwigs will eat holes in the leaves of hostas. Trap slugs in a shallow can filled with beer. Or partially fill a soda or beer bottle with beer and lay it on its side. The slugs crawl in the opening and drown. The bottle prevents the beer from being diluted by the rain. Hide the traps under the hosta leaves for a neater looking garden.

- I have noticed these small pin-like holes on some of my hostas, but checking to see which ones, it appears to me that this is much more prevalent in those hostas that are in areas that are relatively dry and shady.

Trombiculidae Trombiculidae (/trɒmbɨˈkjuːlɨdiː/ (also called berry bugs, harvest mites, red bugs, scrub-itch mites and aoutas) are a family of mites.The best known of the Trombiculidae are the chiggers.higgers attach to the host, pierce the skin, inject enzymes into the bite wound that digest cellular contents, and then suck up the digested tissue through a tube formed by hardened skin cells called a stylostome. They do not burrow into the skin or suck blood, as is commonly assumed.

- I have been questioned many times about the various stages involved in the metamorphosis of the. Black Swallowtail Butterfly (Papilio polyxenes). Although not scientific data, I can relate my experiences as I witnessed them. The host plant for Black Swallowtails is likely to be any of the carrot family such as dill, parsley, fennell and others. The adult female lays her fertilized eggs (yellow in color) on the host plant and the next generation begins.

Why are my hostas turning yellow? Planting hosta in direct sunlight can result in scorch or sunburn, especially in USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 6. Southern blight is a fungal disease that causes rot at the base of the leaves, causing leaves to yellow, collapse and eventually die. An additional sign of southern blight is the development of a cotton-like webbing at the stem base and surrounding soil.

Phytophthora infestans Phytophthora infestans. Phytophthora infestans is an oomycete that causes the serious potato disease known as late blight or potato blight. (Early blight, caused by Alternaria solani, is also often called potato blight.) Late blight was a major culprit in the 1840s European, the 1845 Irish, and the 1846 Highland potato famines.

Is September a Good Time to Cut Back Your Hostas? When cutting back hostas, it is important to remove all leaves from the plants. Leaving the dead leaves on the plant does not damage it in any way, but slugs, weevils and rodents enjoy the withered foliage.

Decomposition and decay The tinder fungus, for example, is the host for the larvae of the black tinder fungus beetle (Bolitophagus reticulatus) and the forked fungus beetle (Bolitotherus cornutus), which feed on the fungal fruiting body, helping to break down its woody structure.

- Argus tortoise beetles also infest cabbage, corn, raspberry, strawberry, milkweed, and plantain. Golden tortoise beetles have been found on eggplant. Damage-Both larvae and adults feed on leaves causing them to be riddled with holes. This type of damage is most threatening to seedlings or newly set plants.

- How fungi obtain food. - Fungi cannot produce their own food. - They are heterotrophs, and use a process called extracellular digestion to obtain nutrients. - In extracellular digestion, food is digested outside a fungus s cells, and the digested products are then absorbed.Different feeding relationships. - Fungi have different types of food sources.- It may be a saprophyte, a mutualist, or a parasite depending on its food source. In many types of fungi, cross walls called septa divide hyphae into one or more nuclei. - Septa are usually porous allowing the movement of cytoplasm and organelles from one part of the fungus to the other. This movement is quick and efficient. - Some fungi have hyphae with no septa.

Hosta Care After Browning of the Outside Edges of Leaves delphinii causes petiole rot. It's most common in warm, rainy weather. Affected hostas develop brown, mushy areas at the base of their petioles, where the leaf joins the base of the plant. As the disease progresses the edges of the leaves turn yellow, then brown. Heavy mulch against the crown of the plant can increase problems, so pull the mulch back so it doesn't rest against the hosta.

Dermestid Beetle Starter Colony As their nickname implies, “flesh eating beetles” eat dead flesh and leave everything else alone. And they do their work on bodily tissue very efficiently. Dermestid-cleaned bones may require some post processing for color, assembly, and preservation, but the soft tissue removal work is done by the insects.
