Egg deposition, parasitism and parasitoid releases - April 25

Leafhopper egg deposition continues. Some of the Virginia creeper leafhopper eggs (<5%) are almost fully developed, so we may possibly begin to see VCLH nymphs this week. 

A batch of Anagrus daanei, the parasitoid that controls Virginia creeper leafhopper, were released on April 23 in the McDowell Valley and Hopland area.
