Q.Some Insect Is Eating The Flowers On All My Coneflowers At A Rapid Pace!

Zone 02061 | kaytoma added on July 15, 2020 | Answered

I don’t really see any insects although there may some very small black insect that I noticed when I cut a few to bring in the house. Whatever is doing it, they are in the process of destroying every flower. There are a few holes in the lower leaves but nothing compared to the actual flower. Thank you in advance for any assistance you may have for me! Kay Toma

Unfortunately, there are many insects that can cause this damage. Without a photo of the pest, it can be hard to tell which.

Generally, most insecticides can help with this issue. Here is an article for more information:
