MOTH LARVAE DAMAGE & a COINCIDENTAL SOLUTION? It's possible! We also have more spikes & growths!!

#Dendrobiummunificum #BrassocattleyaNanipuakeaDogashima #ProcatavolaGoldenPeacock
A quick look at a possible coincidental solution to my seasonal issues with Moth Larvae as a new pest that I encountered in my collection Spring 2019. I was given pheromone treated sticky pads to attract the moths and avoid them planting their eggs on my Dendrobium leaves. But those did not work at all, for the little flying insects, it wasn't so ideal, but no moths landed on them. However, this year, because I really wanted a Gloriosa Lily in my life, I planted tubers early in the year... and look at the comparison of damage on the Dendrobium leaves and the lily leaves. What do you think?
UPDATE: Although I believe there is some improvements on my Dendrobiums and that they have suffered less.... there is still substantial damage on the new growths, just later in the season, than last season... so... no solution to a problem there! I will do a follow up video, because ... Den Phals are in trouble... again!! :(
