Cattleya virus - insect vector?

14 years ago

Only a small number of insects on the plant. Could be an aphid, but is much larger than any other aphid I have seen. Males and females?

Orchidnick is closer than toyo. The damage is caused by orchid bugs, Tenthearis orquidearum. Like aphids they are sap suckers. I have sprayed with Neem and since then not seen any sign of them. The good news is the plants that are not too badly affected could make a full recovery.
