1 Nearly one-fifth (19%) of juvenile violent crimes occur in the 4 hours between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. on school days. 2  A smaller proportion of juvenile violent crime (15%) occurs during the standard juvenile curfew hours of 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. (inclusive of both school and nonschool days).
Cause. Sooty mold is a fungal disease initiated by a combination of feeding insects, such as whiteflies and aphids, and fungi. Insects feed on the gardenia for the sap in the foliage and stems. The insects take in large amounts of sap and expel the leftover as a sticky liquid called honeydew.
Sooty black mold is a fungus that can appear on the surface of plant leaves, stems, twigs, branches and even fruits. The fungus does not harm or feed off the plants, but instead gets its nourishment from honeydew. Honeydew is a sticky, sweet substance that certain insects secrete. When sooty mold spores are carried by the wind and land in the honeydew, the fungus feeds on the honeydew and grows, covering the plants and causing a charcoal-like sooty coating of mold.
