Is Something "Bugging"
You?
At
least something is bugging the knapweed! In an effort spearheaded
by FOTR member Sue Furey, knapweed plants along the new trail in
Piltzville received a dose of root boring weevils. Gary and Judy
Matson joined the party by releasing more of these species specific
knapweed munchers behind the Bonner houses and in West Riverside.

Cyphocleonus
achates, the knapweed root boring weevil. At some Montana sites
these weevils along with seed head feeding insects are having dramatic
results in lowering the density of knapweed.
