Whoa!! got some bugs!

19 years ago

Those pesky tiny black bugs are on some geranium leaves & eating holes. This seems to have happened overnight, yesterday everything was cool. What are they & how do I get rid of them? They seem to especially like my new Fantasia Strawberry Fizzle. Would appreciate solutions! Pat

the tinyblack bugs passed on, but the real culprit was a very fat green caterpillar that was just munching his way thru my new plant. Sent him off to caterpillar heaven, now hope the new plant recovers.
