Seen a few adults, including a mating pair, and am finding eggs in relatively decent numbers here in Central Ohio - 5-10 per hour of search. About 50% of the eggs are laid on the flowers, particularly when the heads are just 1/2 to 2/4 inch around and just beginning to push out of the leaves. Look these over very carefully because a lot of the little guys just burrow into the flower head after they emerge from the egg...
