ID this insect please
18 years ago
This guy looks like an aphid on steroids. They are on my bell pepper plants and are about 1/4 inch long, and almost as tall with protrusions out the side of their head.
Are they good or bad? I don't know what ate the peppers, may have been a bird or raccoon, or these guys.
