bug pest ID
11 years ago
can anyone ID this bug? It eats and destroys blooms on my Missouri
primrose. Last year it did the same thing to my cholla cactus. There
are 5-10+ bugs per bloom. They don't eat the plant, only blooms. I used
neem oil. It killed the bugs on the plant yesterday but a zillion more
showed up today to eat the new blooms. Any organic suggestions to
destroy these pests?
