Leafy Spurge Flea Beetle Collection and Distribution
Griggs County Weed Board 


Collection and Distribution Plans

    The first field day was held on Monday, June 12th at Butte Michaud (Dan Rorvig cooperator).  This was going to be a test to see if we could find any beetles.  The results were very encouraging.  There was a tremendous amount of beetle activity and the spruge damage was amazing.  The latest collection day was on June 26.  There was a very big turnout.  Beetle numbers were very high on the June 30th collection.
