Define "Bonnet Stalk"

Around here, usually in August, my Grandparents and I would go along country roads & look for "Horseweed" (actually Giant Ragweed) and look for holes in the stalks. We were looking for what my Grandparents called "horseweed worms" (actually Corn Borer worms). We used them to fish for Bluegill & other panfish species.

European Corn Borer


Giant Ragweed



Word of warning ... ticks, wasps, chiggers, etc. are commonly found in the patches of Giant Ragweed. Take necessary precautions.
