Hi Dave, I'm so sorry about that. Thanks for the wonderful pictures though. It is good for everyone to see what the larvae look like. Here's another picture that I have of the larvae below. Others have received these in Evelyn's cuttings too so you are not alone. That is so sad. I'm glad that you destroyed them quickly, and that they were not able to make it to the beetle stage. That would have been terrible. Hopefully, the word will get out, and everyone will check their collections carefully and report any findings. Thanks for letting me and others know what you found. Evelyn has been reported to the appropriate authorities, and it has been reported to her directly so the hope is that she will stop selling infested plumeria cuttings.
