 We had almost 2000 fewer weevils this year because of the high numbers last year.  The '01 high numbers damaged and killed so many of our plants despite our efforts to rapidly collect them out of the insectaries that we lost too many plants.  We seem to cycle like this every other year.  T. Breitenfeldt, 11/02.
