Some of my garden phlox is showing damage to the leaves that look like damage from leafcutter wasps. Those stems that are damaged turn yellow and dry up and die. Undamaged stems are fine. I\'ve had phlox for many years with no previous problems. Anyone experience this on their phlox? My garden is bee and butterfly friendly so I\'d prefer not to use a pesticide if at all possible. Thanks!
