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.
