A good read. Laughed out loud when he spoke of singing the Circle of Life. Too funny, good humor!
On a more serious note there were two points that I found a bit confusing. One, when he described the borer, and the other when he described the moth that produces the borer. The borers I have seen that appear mature are much larger than described. I have found them to be nearly two inches long and fatter than a number 2 pencil. Obviously, they start quite teeny and can be found at any size along the way to maturity. Their color is a pale fleshy gray, yuck. The moth I have seen in person and pictures of is not white, but what I would call muddy gray and mottled with darker pigment to camouflage it, no doubt. We may be talking about more than one kind of iris borer. I hate to think about that possibility. Everything else he described was right on the money from my own ugly experience. It was by far the best article I have read on the subject.
Thank you, Greg, for getting that to us on here.
