Rosemary Beetle


These so called pests are making a right meal of my Sage (Salvia officinalis) and to a lesser extent my Lavender but strangely they are ignoring the Rosemary, tricolour Sage and purple Sage. But apart from having a good nibble they are doing little damage. And as they are so beautiful why would I harm them?

I'll be looking out for them on the plot from now on! xx

It reminds me of a puddle when oil has been dropped in it.

LOL, Jo, I know just what you mean!
