What's Eating my Plants Too?
My seedlings of pak choi and turnips have been attacked by flea beatles. They are tiny beatles, not bigger than 2-3mm in length, you can see them jump as soon as you disturb the leaves.
Symptoms: the leaves of the seedlings are covered with little round holes, like a lace napkin.
Control: plants have to be watered during dry spells, cover seedlings with insect proof netting so the adult beetle can't jump.
But really and hopefully the plants should grow out of it.
