Purple Loosestrife Beetles

Purple Loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria) is an invasive perennial which grows along the edges of river, lakes, dams, bogs, swamps, streams and other wet sites. One method of controlling this weed is with the use of Purple Loosestrife Beetles (Galerucella pusilla and Galerucella calmariensis).

These has been found to be a very effective resource for controlling purple loosestrife plants without the use of chemicals.
