The Taylor County Land and Conservation Department is raising galerucella beetles in an effort to manage purple loosestrife, an invasive plant species found in lake areas. At the Taylor County Land Conservation Committee meeting on June 4, Chris Hamerla, regional aquatic species coordinator from Golden Sands RC& D, explained the current purple loosestrife situation and how beetles will address the problem. He said, “When purple loosestrife gets into a wetland, it grows taller and more abundantly than our native plants. We can do biocontrol with little beetles that eat purple loosestrife. They don’t kill it, they just manage it to get it smaller so the other plants can compete without having to use herbicides, without having to do manual labor besides what we do to raise the beetles.”
