We found here on our site in the complete absence of a Colorado potato beetle, which was, a little, but there were fire beetles. Were you puzzled by the fact that these two events are connected? What dosmile.gif firefighters eat ? The house is located in the Pskov region on the border of Latvia. Thanks!

I don't know what color the egg laying is in softlings, but the larva lives in the litter, so the egg laying should be there smile.gif
And the Colorado potato beetle has orange-colored eggs on the underside of potato leaves.
