The wife and I started to grow carnations last year and this year we have a bug that bores into the flower head be fore it opens and eats the blume clean out of it.
Anyone Know what this little bugger is ????

No, but if you dust the plant with Sevin dust the bug will die after the first bite.

The bug may die depending on what kind it is.
