Delphinium

Thank you all so much. We have centipede grass. Your IDs seem right on with pics I'm finding. Last year, we did have the large spittlebugs -- but not many. This year, one section of the lawn, by the house looked white covered -- almost thick spiderwebs, but not discernable bubbles. Then, our lawn seemed invaded! So, even though they aren't hurting the lawn, can I get rid of them with BugBGon Max? They are annyoing. Thanks!

conifers are commonly known as evergreen .... i swear a conifer can be dead for months.. before it browns and loses its needles ... ergo .. the brown tissue probably developed over the winter.. probably due to the transport and transplant to your garden ... this fly .. no matter what it is.. hatched a few hours ago ... how can it be anywhere in the equation as to why this is the second or third BHSpruce you are having trouble with???? and how it may be related to tissue that browned months ago ??? are you hoping for better answers over here .. instead of the conifer forum.. where we usually hang out... lol ... good luck on the ID ... knowledge is power.. but i dont think its going to answer the browning problem .... ken PS: boy thats a lot of whitish mulch ... do these things get any protection from the sun any time of the year ???? reflective sun ... in winter .. can be very problematic ... perhaps sunburning the needles.. not only from above.. but from below with that mulch and snow ... i know there is nothing you can do about it.. with the drainage field ... and i suspect that once the plant gets more 'established' ... it will be able to overcome it all ...

Well, Jeanne.....I need a better image...one with a tad more focus.....before I even want to begin narrowing it down to insect orders. I expect that's what's holding everybody up, too.
