Agapeta
zoegana (knapweed
root boring moth)
This site crashed this year [most of the knapweed plants died]. The moths were actually emerging from soil that had no living plants in/on it. We will probably need to locate new collection sites in 2009. We have Agapeta fairly well established in most or our Jefferson and Madison County knapweed infested areas.
