We have a number of schools which have expressed interest in local competitions for the buzz-board game. It's a lot of fun, and with the 4-H connection, there are some prizes. The NEW Manual will be out in photocopy form shortly and will be submitted for official publication shortly thereafter. It will provide the prospective teams with their study materials. They will not sting or hurt people.
Eggs are spherical, greenish-yellow.
They are placed one by one on the lower side of leaves. After about 2 weeks the larva begin to fatten even more and drop off the plant to burrow into the soil. These are in the soil late in the season and may be there over the winter. The moths are often mistaken for hummingbirds. Some species can fly up to 40 miles per hour for short distances.
