這種瓢蟲可是被視為害蟲的一種喔!下次在薰衣草田看到它的蹤影呢,別客氣,就用力把它踩下去吧! The Rosemary beetle is an attractive metalic coloured beetle which generally feeds off lavender and as it name dictates rosemary. When you find one you are likely to find many. They normally appear in late spring and each year are proving more and more difficult to control. If not successfully disposed of by the middle of summer they will have laid their eggs and shall continue to multiply.. If they are left to reproduce then the lavender shall gradually begin to die back and eventually kill the plant. We would greatly appreciate if when walking through the fields you pick them off the flower and crush them under your feet! - it may sound drastic but there is little else that can be done to constrain them.
