Browse Forums Landscape & Garden Design 1 Oct 01, 2009 7:58 pm I was out in my garden the other day and was inspecting our lawn (Sir Walter) as it is looking a bit worse for wear after a few months without any rain. I noticed that there are quite a few little red bugs in various spots. I also have a Poinsettia plant nearby which, when I watered it, I noticed a heap of these bugs start running around. I was just trying to determine if they are problematic or if they are OK. Here are some pics which hopefully help. http://picasaweb.google.com/StuartACross/Bug?feat=directlink These bugs are about 5mm in length and have a red body. Anyone got any thoughts? Thanks, Stu Re: Anyone able to identify a Bug??? 2Oct 02, 2009 2:38 pm It to me looks like a weevil of somesort. I wouldn't imagine him to be the problem with your turf though that is for sure. Not all bugs are bad either, the large majority we find in our gardens are goodbugs You can subit the photos to the WA ag dept.
