Maybe the combination of rain and cool temps has forced them to give up? Maybe they're not prone to fly as far when the weather is miserable? I wasn't sure if the situation was specific to just my garden or if any other folks have had the same experience. Most of my JBs fly in from other properties. It's been several years since I put down milky spore on the lawn (and I've been reading how the JBs are becoming immune to it) and I hand-catch all the JB's in my small sunny garden rather than use sprays or systemics. Just curious.
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize that we can't eat money. Cree proverb
