What an educational post! I've never heard of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), but it's kinda freaky how it works. 😯 I hope it gets rid of the Squash Beetles that are ruining your pumpkin plants — although they're cute, so sad they have to be destructive. I, too, would be curious about ruins like that! Good for you, looking them up to see what they are! Too bad they don't have an historic marker somewhere nearby. 😕 That's awesome that the Activities Director wants you to perform again! You bring so much joy and many smiles when you do that! 😊

Here are pics from this morning, I'm afraid I mixed the Bt too strong, it certainly got the hornworms

But it also seems to have burned all the leaves where I sprayed the yellow bugs

And now there are white/gray counterparts

They scattered when I went to touch them, I thought they may have been the dead remains of yesterday's pests

I got some real pesticide to spot spray those buggers.
