Wenzhou Network News In a green space in front of the Anlan community in downtown Wenzhou, a drainage wax was planted, and in just a few days they inexplicably became "bald heads". Curious citizens gathered up to take a look, only to find that these wax branches were densely packed with many small blue-yellow insects, which not only shaped like silkworms, but also nibbled on the leaves as fast as silkworms ate mulberry leaves, and in a few moments they could gnaw a small shrub into a light pole.
What kind of insects are these insects, and how to eliminate them? Enthusiastic citizens hope that garden experts will quickly answer questions and support insect extermination to save the small water wax in the green belt.
Recently, Mr. Yang, a citizen, found that the green belt in front of his home was "bald" in just a few days. Walking in, Mr. Yang's chest suddenly tightened, and there were many silkworm-like insects curled up on the branches on the small bushes that turned out to be "bald", dense and dense, making people's scalps tingle.
Mr. Yang said: "In just a few days, I have already chewed a green belt into a bald head. If it is not prevented immediately, the entire green belt will suffer. After taking a picture with his mobile phone, he left a message on WeChat, asking what kind of worm it was and whether there was any way to eliminate it?
Two days ago yesterday, the reporter contacted the Municipal Garden Bureau and the Lucheng District Garden Management Office. After on-site inspection by garden experts, it was determined that the larvae of the leaf bee were causing the trouble. Don't look at it looks like a silkworm baby and cute and cute, but it is ruthless to eat the leaves, and it is a complete "big stomach king". The staff of the Lucheng District Garden Management Office said: "Leaf bees generally like to eat the leaves of camphor trees, and rarely eat water wax. The large number of leaf bee larvae in this green belt is estimated to not exceed 1 week. It is good to find and eliminate it in time, otherwise the greenery will be nibbled up in a few days. ”
At noon yesterday, the garden management department has sprayed pesticides on this green belt, which is expected to have an insecticidal effect within 1 to 2 days. Citizens are most concerned about whether the wax that has been chewed into a "bald head" can re-grow leaves? Garden experts gave a "reassuring pill", as long as the insects are completely extinguished, the water wax will soon be able to flourish again.
