There are maggots *all over* our bougainvillea plants. Can anyone ID these maggots? Are these "good" or "bad"? If bad, how should we get rid of them?
Looks like an infestation of bougainvillea mealy bugs.....what is your general location?
is it in the ground or a pot .... give us a pic of the bigger area ... it also looks chlorotic ... yellow ...
it never fails to amaze me.. how bugs find the already stressed plants ...
if it is in a pot.. you might want to segregate it from other pots ... until you can take care of it ...
