From the very large to the very small - beetle eggs. I have a dock 'problem' in that there are probably too many docks around consistent with the plan to manage the fields for maximum wildflower diversity. However I do have an ally already in that I have seen plenty of Green Dock Beetle eggs. These tiny orangey-yellow eggs can be found clustered on the underside of dock leaves and not long after they turn into hungry black larvae that love nothing better than to strip dock leaves to the point where they are mostly holes. The adult beetle is a handsome green insect and definitely my favourite beetle
