Not having seen any hanadamas in person, ever, I can only admire the photos!
And wonderful photos they are, Andrew.

LOL.
The pearl bug is tasty. Lots of protein. Mm...
Since the pearl bug has apparently disappeared (so sad), I want to preserve it here with a photo of my iPad screen, where it still remained this morning.

A lost opportunity, really. I know many dislike insects, but pearl bugs could be adorable.
[Now, back to our regular pearly discussions.]
Ground Pearl Bugs are becoming a serious problem in the southeastern states. The roots of Bermuda, St. Augustine, Zoysia, and Centipede grasses can become infested with them. As they attack the roots of these grasses, the grass will die in circular spots. The damage is worst when it is dry as that is when the insects extract the most moisture from the root zone, depriving the grass of water. While grass cannot survive in these infested areas, many weeds actually thrive.
Unfortunately, no insecticide is labeled specifically for ground pearl control. In addition, there are no biological control management techniques currently available for ground pearls.
Well, Purranha, should you be irresitably tempted by BIGGER edison strands, feel free to sell me your bronze strand "rejects" from earlier he he he ...
