My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Pepper pest?

21 years ago

I have a pepper plant that has small holes at the leaves on top. Upon inspection, I noticed a small bug: about a quarter inch, black with about 4 bright green stripes horizontally to his body. He flew away when I got closer. Does anyone know what this insect is? Does anyone have a good web site with photos of pests/beneficials?

Thanks, Clara
