Another year, another trip to the lavender field! I hadn't realised that the pretty insect is actually a pest! It's a Rosemary Beetle, a native of southern Europe which has no natural predator here so is flourishing.
Arghh - squash the beetle, squash the beetle!!!! I'm sure Mayfield used to have 'Squash the beetle' days... They drop to the ground and burrow, so you have to be quick! :)
What a gorgeous lavender farm! How much did you bring home with you?
