| The cricket known as a Corn
Cricket. Hetrodus pupus This one which is drinking beer with us is
the species that is most often seen in Namibia and the dry western regions of South
Africa.
The black corn cricket is the juvenile of the common brown cricket above. The damage the insects did to these aloes are not as gruesome as it seems. An aloe has no problem to replace the leaves. There will be a problem if the aloe can not replace a portion of the leaves with enough water reserve for the long hot summer. |
