Something sweet I bet
Are you sweet
Root aphids live in the soil and travel up the plant stems.
Maybe just a bunch of stoner ants waiting for the prize at the end.
Something has their attention

I’m pretty sure the are assassin bug babies I hope so cause I knocked them back on my plant
OK so you have Special Forces NowI’m pretty sure the are assassin bug babies I hope so cause I knocked them back on my plant
They must not mind the Spinosad
You need to ask BIG
LOL
I don’t mind seeing these bugs on my plants but 100 of them on one leaf was different to see. Maybe they were having a little party on the patio . I wonder how social they are?

No no no
I am but not that sweet
. I haven’t been adding molasses to my flower brew cause I was scared of attracting ants. These are bug eaters I’m pretty sure. I do have occasional leaf damage from who knows what (probably Japanese beetles) but the Spinasod seems to keep everything at bay.
found other pics on the net of them hanging out together…

ants are generally a gardeners friend
keep an eyeball on that plant cause the ants may be attracted to it due to aphids or whiteflies…..
the aphids and whiteflies ingest plant sap and then they secrete a sugary byproduct know as honeydew and it is the scent of the honeydew that attracts the ants
if you see any signs of aphids use the Pyganic to knock them back

They look a little arrogant
Ants and Aphids have a special kind of Love
Kind of like you and Biggy

I’ll keep checking it. I went all over it this morning couldn’t see anything but something is making them hang around I agree
are the assassin bugs like ants tho attracted to sweetness? I’ve only seen them eating bugs or larvae
My guess is that the Pyganic would also kill the assassin bugs? I’ve only been using the Spinasod so far and they don’t seem to mind it
