Peachtree Corners, Gwinnett County, Georgia, USA
September 24, 2016
Larvae resembling False Potato Bug larvae (i.e. tan colored with a single row of black spots along each side) were observed at this same location hosting on Carolina Horsenettle earlier in the summer (05/21/2016). Photos of these larvae are available if that info would be helpful.
