I presume these then turn into beetles, which lay eggs which....etc., although my biology is not very good. They have virtually stripped a very large vine, and I cannot treat them, as we are eating the grapes at the moment. I would like to identify them, and to find a way of getting rid of them, other than using pesticides, as they appear just before the grapes ripen. Advice please! |
