Weird bug in garlic stems

[womble]

Are they attracted to veg oil then?

Yes it worked very well. Didn't work so well under the sweetcorn though, as soon as I pull open a sheath to check if the corn is ripe or not, they move in that night, if it isn't ripe.

shadylane, tiny maggots, not good....check your bulbs for small holes in the neck/top of the bulb, if you find them, pull your bulb apart to save some cloves otherwise you'll have to throw the bulb away...

Yeah, I was a bit worried it might be onion fly and had a check for damage. Have used a few and haven't found any more so hopefully was a one off but I will give them all another inspection
