I am thinking once their favorites are chomped up, like roses and grapevines they get a bit desperate this time of year near the end of their season.
BTW, 24 today....at least out of the 40`s!

I saw them on marigolds during peak population and maybe 8 ft from 6 large infested knockout roses and maybe another 10-12 feet from 3 more. The squash bugs were on marigolds next to the zucchini they were thick on and absolutely surrounded by lush marigolds ranging from 1 ft high to 5 ft high.

Always looking for interesting plants for pollinators and food! Bonus points for highly, and pleasantly scented plants.
