Hello all:

Something is boring into and then eating my flower buds. Whatever it is has gotten in my pansies and columbine. There is a tiny hole in the bud and then when it opens the flower is all deformed. I haven't the faintest idea what to even look for or what time of day to look. Any help would be appreciated very much.

Hi Anirbasjo, and welcome to GG.

I don't know if this will help, but sometimes when I don't know what kind of pest I am looking for I will Google the plants themselves and see what pests affects them. This way I can check out the known pests and see if any matches up with the damage I'm seeing.

Good Luck, Tam
