Last Summer I Noticed That The Leaves On One Of My Secondaries Were Wilting. I Watered, It was A Hot Day, And Not Much Happened. I Spoke With My Mother About It And She Suggested I Pull The Plant To Be Safe. I'm Stubborn And Rebellous (And Cant Spell For Sh$%) So I Gambled And Just Cut The Vine At The Node. Inside The Vine, Which The Underside Was All Mushy And Gushy, Were These Tiny And Round Black Beetles. So Small That I Could Not Make Out Any Physical Characteristics Other That. There Were Quite A Few. I soaked The Vine In Gas And Torched It. I Also Rubbed Some Insecticide On Where I Cut The Vine. Of All 4 Plants, That Is The Only Sign I Saw Of Them During The Whole Growing Season. Any Bright Ideas On What That Could Have Been?
