Pollen Beetle
Pollen Beetle - Цветоед рапсовый - (Meligethes aeneus) has now emerged on oilseed rape and under the current dry conditions will rapidly increase. The numbers are relatively low at the moment, half a dozen or so per plant but as plants are very backwards the effect will be much more significant. We need to get an insecticide on pretty sharpish.
