person-shaped creäture

In fact, the plants seem to be getting attacked in proportion to how numerous they are. The canada goldenrod and white asters, which are everywhere, are stunted and their leaves are yellow and curling up and turning brown. But the weird goldenrod (a goldenrod I have that is different from all the other goldenrods in a way I have never been able to identify) is totally unaffected. The purple coneflowers don't seem affected. Cup-plants seem okay. The ashy sunflowers have some lace bugs on them, but they don't appear to have ill effects.

Why would the lace bug feeding be focused on the most populous species? Maybe yarrow, canada goldenrod and white oldfield aster secretly have their own lace bug species that can only exist at a certain population level of the host plant? Or maybe they only attack plants with large populations?

Or maybe different populations of a species prefer different host plants, even if they aren't the same species?

Plants in the same family with much lower populations are not being attacked to the same extent. That's the weird part.

The argument between a 70 year old man who hasn’t had a biennial flight review in 40 years who cuts off a cfi who has 250 hours and trained at a 141 school that prioritizes check-ride pass rate over actual Skill building is one of the most heated arguments over radio you will Ever hear.
