Took a picture to show you all of my no-petals Zinnias. Must be some bug at night.
I have never seen anything on it in the daytime.

Also--looks like the Boric Acid powder did not do diddly! They are still scurrying around.
Sprayed the outside and bottoms of the pots with Home Defense. Dead! Now--the ones inside are trapped.
They do not cross a Home defense spray for quite a while. We will see....we will see...

Here are the Zinnias.....Maybe I should put a piece of stocking around a bud and see how that helps...
or a clear plastic cup cut open and wrapped around the bud???
