My green onions were suddenly doing very poorly, and I couldn't figure out why. Too much sun? Not enough water? Nope. Maggots.
The larvae of the onion fly eat the bulbs of onions and garlic. They decimated the roots, and hid themselves inside the bulb! Bastards!
#creature#maggot#fly larvae#onion maggot#honestly i dont even really eat green onions#i grow them for the flowers#cus bugs like em#and i can get good photos of bugs on the flowers because they stay for a while#so im not tooooo bummed about the loss#learning about a whole new bug is worth it#and i have some other green onions that are doing well#unaffected by the worms
