Insect & Disease ID Trivia

Re: What Did This?

I still care about this game, but i've never noticed damage like that on man maps. Maybe damage from an old scale infestation? It looks like the lesions are just on the underside, so no hail. Lesions are too small for a big 'ol cicada and still too small for rodents.

Did you gouge some twigs with a pin a few months ago just to confuse us? If so, you are taking this game way too far.

Re: What Did This?

You have a very keen eye Vince - about the apparent underside of the twig. But I'm sure it is hail damage. The way the branches were drooping when I spotted it, the damage was on the top, kind of to the side, so it would have been hail coming in hard at an angle from the west which the bad hail usually does.
We see this all the time here. Especially certain neighborhoods in "hail alley".

I would not be so evil-minded as to construct a puzzle for you....or would I....

I should have known Taff would have seen it right off. I should have disqualified him from participating...

Cicada or field cricket I can rule out because we don't have them here, at least not species that will do this. I've never seen a cicada here.

Sorry to rain on the parade. (Or should tht be hail on the parade). When I figure out how to post photos I'll put some up but until then someone else can go ahead.

It would be interesting to seee cicada damage sometime if anyone has photos.
