Some of the asparagus branches are dying and when I look at the ground edge of the branches, something is wrong. There is something like fine wood chips between two branches. When I removed it, I found large holes in both stems. Suspecting a longhorn beetle larva, I checked above and below the hole and found that there was a longhorn beetle larva at the bottom of the hole, near the ground. This is the first time this pest has been seen on asparagus in our potager.
Damaged branches were cut and many berries were collected.
アスパラガスの一部の枝が枯れてきて、枝の地際をみると何か変です。二つの大きな枝の間に木くずのようなものがあります。それを取り除くと、両方の茎に大きな穴が開いていました。カミキリムシの幼虫（テッポウムシ）を疑って、穴の上下を調べてみたら、穴の下の方の地際のあたりにやはりテッポウムシがいました。アスパラガスにこの害虫の被害がみられたのはうちでは初めてです。
被害をうけた枝を切って、たくさんついた実を集めました。
