chris pp Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 They are a type of pollen beetle, no worries! They do not harm your daffodil plants although they may munch the stamens a bit. You should not be concerned for your vegetables, they won't be going near them!Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisb Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Yes Chris is right - these sound like pollen beetles. They seem muchmore prevalent these days - perhaps there's been a decline in whateverpredates them.They do seem to go for yellow flowers by preference.
