We do not normally have any issues with wireworms, the larvae of a click beetle, attacking our crops but I did find these fellows enjoying one of my onions.
The onion was leftover from last year, at fall harvest I often leave the smaller onions in the ground so that they can be used as early spring greens. I was transplanting this one to another location and noticed it had been violated by wireworms.
I was forced to operate.
The onion pulled through but the wireworm's fate was not at all pleasant.

Happy chickens... :) Silke
Silke,
Happy indeed, especially since they get to live so close to the gardens.
