Successful flea beetle
release site.
This is a 6 year old release site for flea beetles. The area was once
very heavy in leafy spurge, today it has native grass growing in the area.
I consider this a success. Photo by Mike Battaiola
Another view of the same release site notice the 1 spurge plant at
the bottom of the picture.
Flea beetles were still in the area. Photo by Mike Battaiola
The yellow flower in the bottom right corner is not leafy spurge. Photo
