Egg deposition, parasitism and parasitoid releases - May 3

Leafhopper egg deposition continues. We have not seen any leafhopper nymphs yet. Some of the Virginia creeper leafhopper eggs are almost fully developed, so we may possibly begin to see VCLH nymphs this week. 

A second batch of Anagrus daanei, the parasitoid that controls Virginia creeper leafhopper, was released on April 28 in the McDowell Valley.
