Re: And so it begins........Colorado beetles

Not something we get here >fi< But I do remember the posters at primary school, warning us to watch out for them. And the ones warning against Deadly Nightshade LL I thought it was Tagetes (African??

Re: Where might you see?

T, G, L, S, O, L, P, and M are the abreviations for the historic Compass Rose , In the lingua franca Italian
Someone posted a picture on facebook with of a cycle path in Wales with a compass Rose on the path (quite a job to work out what the letters meant)

Though they get very leggy and woody if left for extra years. We had some against the wall of the house next to the path, in p...
