Sunflower bush leafbeetle experiment, part 2

 So a while back I tried an aided dispersal experiment (members of the genus are poor dispersers) at Peck Road Park. Didn't work, it seems.

Trying again this year with a different location and more beetles. So far I've covertly put three in Plymouth Elementary School's garden (at least one was a mated female). I have a lot of spare time right now so I plan to watch them and see for myself if the adults get eaten.
