| About 3 yrs ago I planted a cutting from a Pecan tree from a nursery going out of business. Actually, the nursery was owned by one of the "Amos & Andy" actors after they retired. (if anyone's old enought to remember them :).
It is at 10-15 ft tall and the only tree in our yard that survived our hurricane last year. It is bearing very large pecans. And a good grower. Rather quickly, the leaves have been eaten around the edges, leaves are turning brownish-red and dropping at an alarming rate from the bottom up There is a "critter" and larvae, too. Bright orange w/white spots, long black legs. I went to our FLA Extension and they suggested "Malaphion" spray. Already have "Garden Safe" a mixture of pyrethrins & canola oil. This little guy is a special survivor. Please help..... |

| NO fair not sharing the identification of the critter. Beetle? Truebug? |
